Please test and review. If you have some spare disk(s) with ATA Security support and a BIOS which does not freeze the security configuration, I'd like to hear about any results of playing with this patch. See the changes to the manual page for details on the commands. Note that you may render disks unusable using the ATA Security commands. Use with great care. http://daniel.roe.ch/code/ata/atasecurity-20080930-complete.diff -- Daniel Roethlisberger http://daniel.roe.ch/
