RE: Transparent Screen Lock for Win NT/2000/XP

[Meidinger Chris <chris.meidinger () badenit de>]

Hi Cathy, Gabriel,

i would consider the same thing Cathy, what about setting up some kind of a
monitoring system with a web access? To be honest, if there are people that
are not allowed to touch servers, i don't want them anywhere near the
servers either. A locked door can prevent the great idea of quickly
unplugging a mainframe * to charge a mobile phone ... just a thought

*(it didn't look like it was connected to anything! the cable was just going
into the floor! yes, this has happened)

I would say a web page showing the status. this way any machine can connect
and see, but not control.
