[The Line Eater LIVES!!!] We have a Macintosh lab in our department in which a Mac SE is used as a file server. If this SE is booted from a floppy, the entire file structure of the machine (including the password file) is visible. We are interested in providing a higher level of security for the data on the fileserver. One solution is to get a device called a Mac Muzzle, manufactured by Ergotron, which would in effect lock the floppy drives and prevent such an unauthorized reboot. Any comments concerning the advantages/short commings of the Mac Muzzle or any other security device would be appreciated. Please reply to orletsky@cs.jhu.edu. Thanks Mark Orletsky JHU/CS Mac Lab Manager (301) 338-5562/338-8412 -- M W Orletsky (Dept. of EECS-JHU)
