Use encrypted disk images to password protect apps
Authored by: Coumerelli on Nov 02, '05 08:20:32AM

I did exactly this for my 'Server Apps' that I use to administer our servers at my work. I got to thinking one day - Hey, anyone who has access to my laptop can - with one click - administer my servers! yikes! in my 'Server Apps' disk image I put apps like Chickenof the VNC; Remote Desktop; Server Admin (the most vulnerable); even Server Monitor.

Of course, I take other precautions to protect my laptop, but this is just one more obstacle for someone being malicious/nosey.

It's a simple click/(secure)-password away to get to these. And in my dock I only put the disk image there so I just have to right-click or click-hold to access all the apps! Slick (I think). A good mention/hint!
