- Introduction
- ------------
-
- MultiUser allows you to create a *IX-like environment where several users live
- together in harmony, unable to delete each others files, unable to read those
- private love-letters of other users. And this even if several users are
- working on the machine at the same time (on a terminal hooked up to the serial
- port)
-
- People without a valid login ID and password won't be able to access files you
- have made private with MultiUser. If you make all files private (not readable
- for others), the only useful thing they could do, is boot from a floppy.
-
-
- Contents
- --------
-
- This archive contains a fix for a dangerous bug in the MultiUserFileSystem.
- In case the validation of a partition failed under pre-3.0, your computer
- crashed instead of showing a requester. Now all versions of the
- MultiUserFileSystem should work under 2.04 or higher (and even under 1.3,
- although you can't login then :-).
-
- Special thanks to Carsten Pluntke (Carsten_Pluntke@ouzonix.bo.open.de) for
- reporting this nasty bug!

- Distribution
- ------------
