I would not prefer the MBR or even boot sector way of installing such program, either it be a function of the kernel or loadable at startup time.
I gotta get a better webhost, this running the site off my laptop is not satisfactory.

located in the MBR, but that isn't 'clean' I think... and it's impossible to write a log file..)
By the way, when using a program like that it is important to remember about the SWITCHES command in CONFIG.SYS to disallow the possibility of bypassing starting files just by pressing F5/F8...
Well, I'm _not_ searching any password program, because for my own use I have the mine, I am just interested if other people are using (or would using) such software, because if there are a lot of users needing a password program, it could be worth to think about including into the FreeDOS distribution a password-like program. Linux have that function natively, why not FreeDOS? - of course FreeDOS can give only root access or none access, but for a single-user machine (most of DOS PC are single user..) that's not a problem.
