- I had a problem with CCP, tho, which made it fairly useless for me: I
- enabled the "Require Boot Password" thing. Sure enough, it asked for a
- password. To check this out, I typed in the _incorrect_ password three
- times to see the result. The machine then booted normally, and the
- boot password was removed permanently. What? Well, I dunno, but it
- sure does not add to security.
