Re: console access



Hi,

Can't you bar physical access to the computer-box (like put it into a
strong cabinet, and leave screen, keyboad and mouse outside ?). 
If not, take out the floppy, disable all compilers, kill all
hardware-related devices, that could provide access to the bios. Try
MrBIOS, they have replacement BIOS for most PCs with better security (no
setup, no low-level format ...). Disable CtlAltDel.
Andsoonforaverylonglist...

PS: Does anyone have an old AT-keyboard to give away ? mine seems to brake
down :-(
