Locking down a computer

[BarTopDancer]

I will find out tonight. All I got was a voicemail saying the kid is doing sh*t he shouldn't be. We put passwords on it but he stuck a disk in there and cracked them.

The "kid" is about to turn 18 and is going to be an engineer. I'm not sure they can keep him out, but I figured I'd give them some more options.

Ah. In that case running a TrueCrypt full volume encryption might be all you need.


But the parent in me still says, if Moonie Jr. ever tired to pull sh*t like you're describing, then Pulling the plug would be an option. Like keys to the car and cell phones, computers are a privilege not a right.
