BootPlus/!Bootplus/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Title : !Bootplus
Abstract : !Boot editor and hidden multi user password protection
Author : Malcolm Ripley
Version :
V1.0 - 5 June 1996
First release tested with RiscOS 3.6 Only
V2.0 - 7 september 1996
Improvements :
* Window'd addition AND removal of applications
* Handles all other "bootable" files e.g. sprites,obey etc
* Edits the predesk directory as well
* Time slots definable for user access
* re-structured menu system
V2.1 - 1 October 1996
* Removal of a test line which limits all users to 1 minute of access
oops. Moral of the story is DO NOT BETA TEST YOURSELF!!
* Correctly handle (without crashing !) an application in Tasks that
does not have a sprite file nad is not an alias. (Steve Turnbull
error ?)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This application and its child tasks perform a number of functions
1. Multi-user password access.
2. Logs user access to tasks and/or directories.
3. Edits the auto running of applications as part of the machine boot.
4. Edits the auto booting of applications as part of the machine boot.
5. Edits the inclusion of applications to the Apps folder.
6. Edits files in the predesk directory i.e. set-up's
6. Creates user aliases.
Installation
------------
1. Copy !Bootplus to the Utilities directory (recommended)
2. Run !Bootplus and login as "OWNER" password "manager"
3. Change the password of the OWNER !!!!!
4. Create any users and set their directory access
5. Login as each user and test access
6. Once you have got the hang of creating users succesfully then set the
"Test Mode Logins" Bootplus Option to off.
7. If you wish to have passwords/logins enabled on boot up then select the
Install Logins maintenance menu item
NB irrespective of whether logins are enabled the OWNER will have to logon
to use Bootplus.
Passwords
---------
The password mechanism allows for any number of users to be allowed access to
the machine. Each user has their own defined list of directories that they
can access. There is a default optional user called GUEST (password ignored)
who has limited access to the machine.
The password entry mechanism is not an "on demand" by the machine but an "on
request" by the user. Thus the illegal user will not know that they have
to enter a password. Even the message from the background task reminding the
user that a password is required is an obscure one.
A newly installed version of !Bootplus has one user, "OWNER" who has a default
password of "manager". Take careful note of the upper and lower case. It is
recommended!! that this password is changed as soon as possible since this user
is the only one that has full access to all the facilities of !Bootplus. All
other users can only logon and modify their own password.
It is possible to use !Bootplus without the background password task, however,
the OWNER will still have to logon to enable the extended !Boot configuration
facilities.
Logging Activities
------------------
The following activities are optionally logged by the background task :
Tasks started
Task quit
Attempt to open an inaccessible directory
These options are controlled via the bootplus options window.
Editing of boot files
----------------------
The editing of the four sets of files/applications is all done via the same
window (although the title changes). The entries in the window shows the
filename, filetype in textual form if possible and sdditional information
relevant to how the file is used i.e. *Obey, *iconsprites, *Filer_run etc.
If the original for a file no longer exists then the entry is highlighted in red
text. All ne entries are highlighted in green text. Changes are only applied
once the apply button has been pressed.
Thief traps
-----------
These are applications distributed about the main disk that simply check that
the background password program is running and that all the known traps are in
place. If the background task is not running then it is started with 1 minute
left for logon. If any traps anywhere are missing then they are re-installed.
You may have as many of these traps as you like.
*** NB this hint has just been "discovered".
Add a thieftrap to the top level of the harddisc to prevent (or at least hamper)
access from users who Exit the desktop and re-start it with the command line
*Desktop.
Future Upgrades
---------------
The following enhancements are planned :
1. Pinboard saved into !Boot.
Summary

Full details of the above and more are included in the Documents directory in
impression format.
