State University, Raleigh Lines: 17 Does anyone have a neat way by which a tape drive is protected from use by anyone else other than the user who has mounted the tape? Since we are in a university environment, often a student has mounted a tape to write on and someone else, thinking that the tape was their's, has written over the tape. We have a 780 running 4.2 with an ancient TE16 tape drive and would appreciate and ideas on implementing something of this nature. Please mail responses, do not post them to the net. -Jamie Evans- decvax!mcnc!ncsu!jle mcnc!ncsu!jle mcnc!jamie
