[comp.sys.mac.wanted] Log-out utility for AppleShare 2.0.1

jdw4374@cec2.wustl.edu (The Mad Hatter) (02/02/91)

Hello to all those out in Net-Land!

	At out Mac Lab, we have AppleShare running for labs of 20 Macs (15 +'s,
	5 SE's) and they all have a common password for their use.  However,
	this common password has a habit of gettign into the hands of people
	who are not allowed to use the lab (it's an Engineering Student Lab),
	since it is for Engineering course-work.

	I wwas wondering if there was a program that could (like a screen-saver,
	sort-of) after a certain amount of time of being inactive in the
	Finder (say 30 minutes or so, with the Mac being at the Desktop), it
	would re-start, at least to the AppleShare "connect" window.

	The reason we are looking for such a utility is that due to the boot
	sequence we have (INIT loading & Font/DA suitcase loading via Suitcase
	II, plus a RamDisk creation), people have a tendency to leave their
	Mac on after they are finished using it, allowing non-autorized users
	to access them.  

	Anyone have ideas if there exists such a beast or something similar?
	Or can anyone point me to someone that I could talk to about finding/
	writing something that would do the job?

	Please feel free to reply via EMail, or by follow-up posts.  If you
	post, forward a copy to me via Email, as our mail feed has been up and
	down recently.

	Thanx in advance for all of your help!
