Is it at all possible to have multiple startup/logon passwords in PPC2003?
I don't need different profiles, just a centrally controlled (i.e. on synching PC) password list.
Is it possible to get at APIs to do this.. could I have 'my logon' program which runs immediatly after logon?
I've trawled the lists, looked at 3rd party apps but all to no avail..
Looked at things like PDADefence.. which looks good, except for multiple passwords.
It seems there is a need for this, but the response is that the P in PDA stands for personal!
Yes, the app can have multiple users, but we want to avoid having a single well known power on password.
Our requirement is for ~9 PDAs to be used by ~50 people on shifts for data entry.

Cheers,
Simon.
