I am currently running System 7 on my Mac IIci and I like to leave my machine running when I'm away so that I can access it remotely and so others can use the my shared files. Does anyone know where I can get a utility which locks the screen/keyboard so others can't use it while I'm not around. I once saw something called LockOUT which did the job, but I can't remember where I can get it. (Freeware or shareware preferred) Thanks in advance, -- ================================================================= Ray Zimmerman | Electrical Engineering 369 Engineering & Theory Center | Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 | zman@ee.cornell.edu =================================================================

(Freeware or shareware preferred) Ray, The latest version of the Moire screen saver (3.22) from John Lim includes the ability to lock your screen with a password. When the screen saver is active, type Option-L. You get a beep, then type your password and hit RETURN. A beep is heard again; re-enter the password for verification. Two beeps are heard. Your screen is now locked. Until you type the password again, keyboard input beeps, and the screen saver stays on. Moire is $10 shareware. -- | Paul E.
