I *think* this can be prevented by setting an Open Firmware password on newer machines which support the feature. This will prevent - Single user boot - Verbose boot - Hitting the Alt key to select a different boot volume and probably other stuff... http://homepage.mac.com/codesamurai/.Public/Texts/Open%20Firmware%20-%20Password.txt I'm not sure if they fixed that password bypass thing by changing the amount of RAM, though. But at least you have to open up the machine to do this. -Marc -- _________________________________________________________________ Marc Liyanage liyanageat_private http://www.entropy.ch ICQ 5077985 Yoda I am.
