Short: Multi User System Security
Introduction
------------
You've got an Amiga with Kickstart 2.04 or higher and several people are
regularly fooling around with it ... Last week your sister deleted your
20MB JPEG collection by mistake and you don't want this to happen again ...
Well, here's the answer: MultiUser!
MultiUser allows you to create a *IX-like environment where several users
live together in harmony, unable to delete each others files, unable to
read those private love-letters of other users ... And this even if
several users are working on the machine at the same time (on a terminal
hooked up to the serial port) ...
You are the sole user of your computer? Well, make sure it stays that
way by installing MultiUser! People without a valid login ID and password
won't be able to access files you have made private with MultiUser. If you
make all files private (not readable for others), the only useful thing
they could do, is boot from a floppy ...
And ... you do not have to reformat your hard drive!
Distribution
------------
MultiUser Release 1.8 is distributed in 3 archives:
MultiUser18_bin.lha: Basic MultiUser package (you really need this!)
MultiUser18_api.lha: Include files, autodoc, etc...
MultiUser18_src.lha: Source for the library and support commands
There is no new distribution of the external utilities; use the archive
from the 1.7 release: MultiUser17_ext.lha
For more information about MultiUser (disclaimer, distributability, usage,
etc...), read the documentation file 'MultiUser.doc' in the archive
'MultiUser18_bin.lha'.
Additional Note
---------------
Release 1.8 was compiled by Norbert Püschel with permission from Geert
Uytterhoven. (Geert is busy working on release 2.0. :-) )
