Re: PcTech Digest, Vol 4, Issue 66

It get worse if you're only locking down the PC. Try booting the PC using a 
Linux live CD and you circumvent all the security measures you installed in 
Windows.

If you're serious about locking things down, do it at the router. The 
suggestions about using IP Cop were very good.

Thanks,

Paul Stagnoli

Just because it's kids don't think that PW don't ahve to be strong.  I still
remember when my son was 3 1/2-4 and I had a laptop I used when I consulted
that had a power on password.  I had cpl things loaded for him and one night
he wanted to play.  I said sure power it on and I'll be there in a cpl
minutes.  I go in to the computer room 4-5 minutes later and he's playing
his game.  I asked how he got in and he said when that blue box pops up I
typed in what you do and pressed enter, then clicked my icon.  "Geez, Dad
can't you remember how to use your PC?".

And silly me thinks I've got it locked down now that he's almost 16......
