the hard way
Authored by: kramrm on Aug 21, '02 01:13:43PM

I found this out the hard way. I had the system setup remotely, then wanted to add some other software to run other services. I tried an old keyboard - nothing. A new Apple pro keyboard - nothing. I could toggle caps lock, but key/mouse presses were ignored. I know my MS USB keyboard worked before on the system.
I was about to give up when I noticed that the system monitor had the "intrustion detection" status. Turning off the lock enabled the keyboard.

The lock prevents physical access to the XServe. When engaged, you can only access files/setting via the network.
