It keeps track of who logs in and when they log out and will even print out a bill when they exit. You can adjust how much the user is charged and the time increment by which they are charged. It even keeps a log in an excel spreadsheet. They only draw back is that anyone can sign in using which ever name they wish. If you're interested, a demo version and more information can be found at their web site www.mauisoftware.com. If you're interested in a program solely for security purposes how about File Guard by ASD Software Inc. We might use File Guard with Time Tracer just to keep everyone honest. It requires every user to enter a password and the amount of user access can be controlled. You can lock out folders, limit access hours, etc. The only draw back is the log file is not great for billing. It can be imported to Excel but needs a lot of cleaning up. File Guard is available through many software distributors including Mac Warehouse. -- Paul Weiss Flow Cytometry Specialist University of Illinois at Chicago 900 S Ashland Ave Chicago, IL 60607 312-355-0123 pweiss1@uic.edu
