I am looking for an IBM PC hard disk security program with the following functionality: - Password authentication at boot time. ==> Preferably a driver program which must be specified in the CONFIG.SYS file. It can be assumed that drive A: is wired to the B-connector and that the PC case is protected against unauthorized opening. - Keyboard/screen locking. After a specified time or on request, the screen should be blanked and the keyboard locked. The user should be requested a password in order to unlock the system. ==> similar to the lockscreen command on SUN workstations. - Optionally: file encryption. The PC is standalone, no LAN, so this feature is not so important. I can't ftp from anywhere, but I can reach most mail servers, mailers willing. If you know a program which comes close to what I described above, please send me a reply. I will summarize if appropriate. Thanks, Guido Hoss (hoss@ethz.uucp, hoss@ifi.ethz.ch)
