[net.general] protect access to tape writes

jle@ncsu.UUCP (Jamie Evans) (02/05/85)

Does anyone have a neat way by which a tape drive is protected
from use by anyone else other than the user who has mounted the
tape?  Since we are in a university environment, often a student
has mounted a tape to write on and someone else, thinking that 
the tape was their's, has written over the tape.  We have a 780
running 4.2 with an ancient TE16 tape drive and would appreciate
and ideas on implementing something of this nature.

	Please mail responses, do not post them to the net.
