By the same token, I am hoping that there would be some way of preventing a person from circumventing FreeBSDs security than just walking up to a machine with 2 disks. Sun, with their NVRAM password accomplishes this; you need to actually open the case (which can also be easily secured), and without loosing functionality. The equivalent solution that I can see is to remove the floppy drive, and that looses the functionality of the floppy drive from within the program. -- David Cross UNIX Systems Administrator GE Corporate R&D
