@tonyd,

This is one thing I think is needed. At bare minimum a password to get in, You really don't want someone who "thinks" they know computers to be able to get in and screw the pooch. A bit better would be to have 2 passwords, 1 master that would allow anything and a guest one that wont allow any system changes for the genius mentioned above.

Amiga has no security. There is no memory protection and programs can read memory contents of other processes at anytime.


I do remember something about a program that required some kind of input for the machine to  completely boot but that was long ago, don't remember.

Joe ignorant will not know how to do that, semi safer at least. I guess you could use dual boot and make 1 with this and 1 without and it would do what I want.

Hmm, never tried this, can you hide the system icon? That should be good against most people that don't know Amiga systems.
