Hi, ethplorer.
IF you're using Grub4DOS to boot Puppy, there is a way to password-protect things at this stage of the boot process. However, I don't know how effective (or otherwise) this may be.
I don't password protect my Pups, as no-one uses my computer but me.
See here:-

Hope that helps.

It involves changing a few lines in the /etc/inittab file

You can password protect the machine at the BIOS level.
If your machine is multiboot there will be a password option in the OS chooser.
If you want different users then it is sensible to have different save files as well.
I do it using a start up menu system called Symon which also allows disk/partition selection - which is a bit complex for most users.
