We use Pointsec for PC from Checkpoint on the laptops here. Only the reload 
staff and the desktop engineering team have the password. So if you pull your 
own drive it's useless to you and if someone else gets it, it's useless. It 
doesn't make the user input any passwords at boot time though.

With TrueCrypt the user can change the password.  PGPdisk had a master 
password.  I don't think TC does.  How do you manage that at the corporate 
level?
