I'm looking for a program that will keep track of who used the computer, for how long, and what they did (what programs they used). It would be nice if the program had login and password protection. Does anyone know of a program that does this, or something simular? William Moxley mox@vpnet.chi.il.us

All of these would cost more than having one computer per user, probably. The level of monitoring I imagine from your posting is totally impractical unless you have something like security info on the system, in which case you don't let insecure users at it. Or do I mean unsecure? Many of our users are insecure... -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
