I am looking for a Unix-like login utility. What I want is something to allow me to logon and have access to everything, and say have my roomate logon and have restricted access to files contained on the HD (not logging on simultaneously, of course). Is this possible on the Atari? -- _________________________________________________ &y Burnett | burnett@mentor.cc.purdue.edu | -------------------------------------------------

Is this possible on the Atari? I believe mx2 in binaries/volume3 may help you. It is a multi-tasking OS (I think) but it does contain a login function. I have not tried it yet so I cannot help you on how well it works. John. -- John Trickey <jvt@its.bt.co.uk> || ..!mcsun!ukc!axion!its G4REV @ GB7SUT Voice: +44 21 333 3369 #include <std/disclaimer>

Is this possible on the Atari? The quicklock program and accessory allows you to write- and/or read-protect some partitions of your harddisk. With a single password, you can reenable the read/write-access to the partitions. This gives you two levels of permissions. People knowing the right password can access everything, others have only restricted access to some partitions. We use this system at the university to prevent (accidental) damage of our program and system partitions. Hope this helps! - Edgar

I would think that Gulam would provide some sort of protection like this? If not, maybe you could try Minix for the ST. I found MX2 to be a little on the unstable side.

The GPshell turns my machine into a REAL computer which comes to life with ------------------------ Atari ST/GPshell 2.1 TOS 1.4 login: t19 Password: Last login ... ------------------------ and yes, it has a command 'wprot' which allows me to write-protect the system and my partition for my wife. Unfortunately a simple 'wprot -d' undoes this. Geert Jan van Oldenborgh

The login is UNIX similar and need username/password. Remote Access can also be run as desk accessory, waiting for a remote call or login. - Marc
