I have a multi-boot system. Linux, Win98, and Be. I want to know if it is possible to password protect the Be selection so others cant use it? If so, can someone let me know how?

It's not possible through LILO. Assuming you haven't disabled booting from a floppy disk, you might want to make a BeOS boot floppy and remove the BeOS entry from LILO.

You can password protect LILO. You can set the preferences for LILO inside of LinuxConf.
