Kevin,

The systems are single-user boxes and security is achieved through a simple
BIOS password. All I need is a way to make sure that a remote computer
cannot log on to local user accounts.

You mentioned modifying logon rights using GP's to deny access from the
network. Could you explain how to do this and/or what a GP is?
