If the user wants to kill his/her box with a shotgun (i heard sombody did that to an old (not then, but...) mac when it didn't do as she told it to...), they are in their full right to do so. And to sombody who said that "computers are designed to be usefull not secure" is the same as "computers are not meant to be secure" - i interprited that as "computers are made to be both usefull and secure". Anyway, how much is a computer that the user cant use because it is to tigthly locked up, worth? Why dont we remove tcp/ip altogether? Or simply the kernel? If the user cant boot it, then it is *really* secure. And make it forget all data that is saved to disk, just to make sure that it cant be read later by somebody evil? Security can go to far. I do not think security is a bad thing - i just think that it should not get in the way when it is not nesessary. Kyrre
