Again, the most secure form of password protection I know of is to use the
password security feature of a 3rd party HD driver. Even if someone tries
to boot from a floppy, or with the Duo in SCSI disk mode, the drive won't
mount w/o the password. Of course, someone knowledgeable enough would
realize this and update the driver, but that's not guaranteed to work.
Still, it should keep things reasonably secure.
