This demonstration copy of Norton DiskLock 4.0.3 is fully functional. It has four limitations:
• You can protect only one hard disk (all partitions of that one disk will be protected).
• Once you have protected your hard disk, you can logon 10 times. DiskLock will then stop protecting your disk, and will alert you that it has expired.
• You can encrypt files or folders 10 times.
• DES encryption is not supported in this demonstration copy of DiskLock. Commercial versions of DiskLock sold in the United States and Canada support DES encryption.
The complete DiskLock package includes DropEncrypt and DropDecrypt, applications which let you drag and drop files or folders for easy encryption and decryption, and an Emergency Disk.
The following features were added to DiskLock 4.0.2. All have been included in DiskLock 4.0.3.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 allows different users to logon without having to restart the Macintosh.
This feature must be enabled by a super user in the Logon Preferences window. This feature can be set:
> To allow no users to logon without restarting (this is the default)
> To allow super users only to logon without restarting
> To allow any user to logon without restarting, as long as there are no locked files open that the new user isn't allowed to access
> To allow any user to logon without restarting, regardless of which files are open.
Choosing any setting except "no users" could allow users access to information for which they would otherwise not have access (e.g. data in the clipboard, a mounted file server, etc.).
The list of DiskLock users is independent of the list of FileShare and AppleShare users. You may be logged onto DiskLock as one user, and logged onto a file server as another user. Changing the current DiskLock user does not change the current AppleShare or FileShare user.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 includes AppleGuide on-line help. To use it, you will need version 2.0 or greater of the AppleGuide extension installed in your system folder.
• Please turn off virus detection software before installing DiskLock 4.0.3.
• A super user should unprotect the disk before adding or removing partitions, adjusting partition size, or updating the disk driver.
• Be sure to logon as a user who can modify the System Folder before attempting to install or update any software.
• A disk need not be unprotected, but it needs to be unlocked before you use a disk repair utility. To make certain that a disk is unlocked, simply logon as a user for that disk.
• When DiskLock 4.0.3 is run on a Macintosh protected by DiskLock 4.0, 4.0.1, or 4.0.2, it will offer to update the protection to DiskLock 4.0.3.
• DiskLock 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.0.3 support IDE disks formatted with Apple Drive Setup.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 works with Mode32 System 7.5. Because Mode32 System 7.5 starts up once in 24 bit mode, and then again in 32 bit mode, you will need to enter your user name and password twice at startup.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 fixes printing problems for users who cannot modify the system folder.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 fixes an incompatibility with FWB HDT 2.0.0.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 fixes bugs between the DiskLock screen saver, Retrospect, and KeyServer.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 fixes a bug with 33.6 Kbps modems from Global Village.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 supports a PowerBook's internal hard disk, but does not support drives in the PowerBook media bay.
• Even if the DiskLock Network Backup Preference is set to include locked folders in network backups, Retrospect Remote will not backup locked No Access or Drop Folders when file sharing is active on the Macintosh being backed up.
• The PointCast screen saver activation time needs to be set after the activation time for the DiskLock screen saver. For example, if the DiskLock screen saver is set to ten minutes, the PointCast screen saver should be set to eleven minutes.
• Iomega Zip/Jaz driver 4.0.3 users should upgrade to version 5.0.1 or later.
• Users experiencing false Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh (SAM) Intercept Suspicious Activity Alerts after installing DiskLock 4.0.3 should upgrade to SAM version 4.0.8 or later.
• Locked disks formatted with APS 3.6 should not be mounted with the APS Mount Cache 3.6 control panel. To mount these disks, use SCSI Probe, or restart your Macintosh.
• Users running QuickTime 2.1 and Energy Saver on their Macintoshes should not wake the machine with the keyboard, but should use the mouse instead.
• The DiskLock 4.0.3 screen saver should be deactivated while using QuickToPix CD recording software.
• If you try to encrypt an entire disk, you will get an alert noting that several files are open, and thus cannot be encrypted. This is normal, the Macintosh operating system keeps certain files open at all times.
• Users cannot copy items into a Drop Folder with file sharing on. Either turn file sharing off or make a duplicate of the file and drag the duplicate into the Drop Folder.
• Some locked folders will display a shared folder icon when file sharing is on, even though these folders are not actually shared. Selecting such a folder and trying to turn file sharing off causes a -5025 error to be displayed; this is because these unshared folders have no actual sharing to turn off.
• When a user attempts to share a folder on a DiskLock protected Macintosh where file sharing is off, the following false alert is displayed by the Finder: "The sharing window for the folder "Folder_Name" could not be opened, because you do not have enough access privileges." Go to the Sharing Setup Control Panel to activate file sharing and you will be able to share that folder.
• Unlocked folders may look like owned folders (line along top of folder), even though these folders are not actually shared.
• Volumes cannot be renamed on a protected Macintosh.
• DiskLock 4.0.3 does not support disk arrays, nor does it support hard disks attached to NuBus or PCI SCSI cards.
