Does this meen lots of repeated key inserts or is the key checked only at initial load? In the latter case, if the OS swaps out to disk, I think It is conceivable for someone to be able to force swaps of all keyed software, shut down and restart from the saved situation without needing the keys on that machine subsequently. Am I uninformed as to the details or missing something? Leon Traister (Lmtra@SRI-KL.ARPA) -------
