Re: Big Security Risk with F8 Boot Menu.

Problem is putting the computer in a special enclosure will involve more money, was hoping to alternative solution.

My organization is planning to put this computer in a public area

security is paramount to us. I discover that by pressing the F8
key, a
menu will appear allowing me to choose which boot device I want to
boot
from.

Why does the case (or at least it's ports) need to be physically
accessible to the public, surely if the computer it's self was locked
into a suitably secure and ventilated enclosure there would not be
the above risk or theft?
