Howdy mat!

I believe so. I have OS 9.1 and I went to "Control Panels"->"Multiple Users" and you can set up as many users with password logon as you like. But be sure to make yourself the "Owner" and set all privledges for your logon.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Mat --

Your question isn't clear -- do you want to
set a password to prevent or allow
access to your Mac over a network? Or do
several people use a single Mac and you
want to keep them away from each
others' stuff?

If it's the latter, then Dr. Lakey has given
you good advice. If it's the former -- you
want to go to the File Sharing control
panel and assign passwords. Apple help
has the details.
