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	: Hidden multi user password protection and !Boot editor

Author		: Malcolm Ripley

Version		:

  V1.0 - 5 June 1996
  	First release tested with RiscOS 3.6 Only, naff working interface.
  	
  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 - 27 september
        * 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!!
        * Tolerant of poorly defined applications in Tasks directory i.e. does
          not crash
         
  V2.2 - 20 November 1996
        * It now dies when it is supposed to.  Why did V2.0 work ?? I'm puzzled
          Anyway,  I now die and hang, and only a re-boot will restore me you 
          naughty hacker !!
          
        * Logfile is not created new every time bootplus is run.  This was due
          to a featurette in Basic which allows a missing THEN on a multi line
          if-then structure so that it always executes ...
       
  V3.0 - 1 January 1997 (ok 3rd january!)
  
        Functional Additions :
  
        * List window editing is now handled in a Drag and drop manner.
        * The pinboard can be saved into the auto run tasks window.
        * The Watchdog can be switched off for all users except OWNER.
        * User aliases now auto boot the original application.

        Fixes and improvements:

        * The password file is auto created if it is missing.  This version
          assumes that correctly defined user access prevents hacking.  There 
          is no difference between poor user security and accidentally deleting
          the password file...really.  All efforts will be made to ensure
          the contents of !Bootplus.Resources are secure rather than be 
          over clever (unsucessfully!) with password files.
        * Missing THEN clause causing crash when editing owner details for
          a second time, fixed.
        * Missing THEN clause when reading user access times fixed.  However
          the fault simply resulted in an unecessary setting of times on an
          in accessible day...a VERY benign bug.
        * Key Control/data files are now protected by Bootplus after update.
        * Alias window no longer crashes when null icon is dragged to itself
        * Un-applied boot changes are now flagged.
        * All windows tidied up to accomodate a variety of fonts without
          clipping.
        * Bootplus related files cannot be edited by itself only installed
          and removed via them maintenance menu.
        * Bootplus can now be located anywhere.  Previous versions could only
          be installed in Utilities without difficulty.
       
  V3.1 - March 1997
        
        Applied changes after Feedback from Acorn User and Peter of Graytech.
        This version is much easier to use (no passwords by default) and much 
        more secure once passwords are enabled.  If you forget your password
        then ... contact me.
        
        * Passwords can be switched off entirely.  This is the default.  When 
          passwords are switched on the following actions occur.
          - Prompted for OWNER password (previously "manager" by default)
          - Installs !Bootplus and !zzzzpass (background task) to auto run.
          Switching passwords off un-installs the above tasks.

        * A password screen can be set to appear at boot-up to force a logon.

        * Logoff's now allowed.  Logoff state is identical to startup with no 
          password except that the background task will not time-out and hang 
          the machine.  NB timeouts still apply as normal prior to any password
          being entered.

        * An option can be set to allow !Bootplus to replace the !Configuration 
          application when !Boot is double clicked.  This is recommended.

        * An action now exists which will clear !Bootplus from everywhere, ie :
          - Un-installs !Bootplus and !zzzzpass from tasks directory.
          - Restores !Configuration to be called from !Boot double clicking.
          - Removes all thieftraps
          - Removes all edited entries. 
        
	* ALL TEXT IS NOW IN A MESSAGES FILE, including the owner "OWNER"...
	  I think. A bit tricky to test. However I can't speak  any foreign 
	  languages fluently, offers to translate? 

   
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

The latest version, by default, has passwords switched off so that !Bootplus
is simply a !Boot editor.


Installation
------------
1. Copy !Bootplus to the Utilities directory (recommended).
2. Re-start your machine (this ensures the distribution version is completely
   forgotten about otherwise you may end up saving your set-up inside it)
3. Run !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 GUEST who
has limited access to the machine. 

There are two password entry versions.  The first (and only one in all previous
versions) is 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.

The second version is auto prompted at boot up.  In this case the mouse pointer
is locked within the the password window (although still fully multi tasking,
for alarms etc).  The machine is essentially locked until a valid password is
entered.  NB that the anti thief mechanism is still in force prior to the first
login.  However subsequent logins (after a logoff) can lie un-entered
indefinately.

To enable passwords :

1. Select the menu option "Maintenance" submenu "Bootplus Options".  Switch
   on the option "Enable Passwords" and save.  You will be prompted to enter the
   OWNER password.  This is the account that has full access to bootplus and all
   its facilities.  It is also the only account that is allowed unrestricted 
   access to the harddisc.  Previous versions of Bootplus set the default 
   password to "manager".  This no longer applies.
   
2. Create any users and set their directory access. Menu item "User Access" 
   submenu item "Add New User" and "Edit User Access".

3. Login as each user and test access.

4. Once you have got the hang of creating users succesfully then set the
   Bootplus options, menu item "Maintenance" submenu item "Bootplus Options"
     * "Test Mode Logins" Option to off.  This ensures that after a 
        pre-determined period with no logon the machine hangs.
     * "Watchdog off" option to on (hmmm if you know what I mean!) 
     * Optionally, switch on Auto Prompt" if you want to force a password
       entry just after boot-up.

The following option combinations are recommended. 


  Use A	  One User, machine already secure
  Use B	  One user, thief protection required
  Use C	  Multi user, in the home
  Use D	  Multi user, business			
		
			Use A	Use B	Use C	Use D		
  Enable Passwords       off	 on	 on	 on
  Allow Guest Logins     N/A	 off	 opt	 off
  Test Mode Logins       N/A     off	 off	 off
  Full Owner Access      N/A	 on	 on	 on
  Watchdog Off           N/A     off	 on	 on
  Auto Prompt            N/A	 off	 off	 on
  
"Test Mode Logins" should only be on whilst the features of bootplus are
being learnt.

The "Full Owner Access" option should only be off if you (the owner) are
accident prone and wish to preserve your disk!


Logging Activities
------------------
The logging of activities is only done if passwords are enabled.

The following activities are optionally logged by the background task :

  * Tasks started
  * Task quit
  * Directories accessed (or attempts to)

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 additional 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 new entries are highlighted in green text.  Changes are only
applied once the apply button has been pressed.

A new entrye is added by dragging the original file to the window.  If the
original is an application then an alias is created inside !Boot (where
appropiate).  Any other type of file is duplicated within !Boot.

To remove an entry the entry is dragged from the list and dropped onto the
Dustbin icon.  The pinboard can be saved by dragging the icon from the pinboard
save dialog box onto the Auto run tasks list window.


User Aliases
------------
Users can create their own aliases of applications.  These aliases look 
identical to the original except that they are practically empty.  They contain

  !Boot (which boots the original)
  !Run (which runs the original)
  !Help (which tells you the location of the original)


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-instated. 
You may have as many of these traps as you like.

Hint :

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".


Installation in !Boot
---------------------
It is recommended that this option is applied.  What it does is to replace the
normal function of double clicking on the !Boot application from popping up a
configuration window to starting Bootplus instead.  The configuration window is
a "Maintenance" submenu selection of bootplus.


Licence
----------
Bootplus may be freely distributed in its entirety. No part of Bootplus my be
copied without prior consent of the author.

In no circumstances will the author be liable for any damage, loss of profits,
goodwill or for any indirect or consequential loss arising out of the use of the
Bootplus software, or inability to use the Bootplus software.


Thanks to

Steve Turnbull, Acorn user
Peter Brabants, Graytech
Peter Carlin, My son, for hacking !


Future Upgrades
---------------
* Possibly move the auto-prompt password into the predesk, Hmmm.
* Possibly some cosmetic improvements if anyone has any ideas or something
  annoys me.

Sorry no email, the thought of paying BT even more money at 33.6k max is
horrifying.  I'll wait for bidirectional Cable, cheap ISDN or ADSL to be
implemented, one of which won't be long now.
