[iBook] simple question ?

[Justin Herald]

OS X Login security grade? I doubt that very much. It offers nice 
looking features, but only takes about 5-10 minutes for a novice user 
to work around it if it is configured somewhere around 50% of it's 
potential. 100% of it's potential gets annoying most of the time, but 
provides much needed security for pretty much anyone.

OS 9 is a pretty insecure OS locally. Just like windows 9x, and Classic 
Mac OS, it wasn't built for multiple users. It is assumed that anyone 
who is allowed around the system is allowed to be.

If you can't upgrade, the best idea is to use LockOut as well as 
something to encrypt your files should someone gain access. PGP is good 
for this.

Hope I helped.
