A couple of scripts to help track a laptop's location

All these scripts wont really work, since the thief will re-install the
Operating system anyway, at least to make himself a login.
Would be better if these scrips would run in the bios.

Setting an OpenFirmware password (Utility provided on your OS X DVD) will disable booting into Target Mode as well as disable booting from the optical drive. (Also stops single user mode) Effectively preventing an iBook, PowerBook, MacBook or MacBook Pro from being reinstalled without the password.

(Yes, the OpenFirmware Password Utility DOES work on ICBMs)
