Mark,

Unless I'm reading your needs wrong, I think you need the "lock" command
as well as the "password" command.

Festus,
  Thanks very much. It's a great solution for what I need.

  It does limit the use of Windows, which is what I wanted, until the
password is typed in. Once typed in it also seems to allow changing
the boot time options on Linux, but in my son's case I'm not the least
bit worried he's going to try anything there.

  Again, thanks very much for supplying a great solution.

Cheers,
Mark
