Well, put that way, I understand what you are saying.

You have to understand a couple of things however. The only point in having brought that up, was as I said, I was looking for viable solutions outside of the realm of pysical security (I will explain why in just a second!) and in looking for a good alternative outside the realm of physical security, I ran across those 'suggestions'. Since I was asking for possible solutions here at AO, I thought i would mention what I had read as far as suggestions, and pointed out that they weren't viable solutions. As far as your point about a 'better' reason to not use a BIOS password. I got it. I understand. But because I didn't write that in my post seems to me to not be a very good reason to call someones credibility into question! But, thats okay. I have no control over that. If that is your opinion, I will accept that.

Secondly, you have to keep in mind, this is not a typical mission critical server, nor a large scale network. This is simply someone who runs a small business who would like me to look at his networks security. The physical security aspect that you are suggesting is not a viable solution in this particular scenario. Remember, this is a small business. This is part of the reason I was looking for another alternative that could ensure him that this kind of thing wouldn't happen. He has no place to lock up his server. Granted, there is next to no possibility of anyone walking into his business, going into the backroom and doing something like this without him knowing about it, short of an employee who decided to do something like this. Nevertheless, I would like to secure his network for him as best as one can under the circumstances.

XTC, I certainly am not opposed to anyone trying to 'help me', but when someone says 'Gee..;I hope you never do this kind of work again', I find it hard to take that as any sort of 'help'

It's like I am sitting here going '''hmmmm....physical security....woulda never thought of that! I mean come on! I am not an idiot! I think I might have a little better understanding though of what the conditions are. Whle you are calling my ability into question, how much do you know about what the circumstances of this particular job are?

Anyways, I'm not here to defend my position. I asked if anyone had any other suggestions for this type of situation. I can't lock the mans servers up for him physically.

So...at this point I am sorry I even posted the question. I would hope that the people on this board would be a little more willing to help before calling my abilities into a question over something like this.

But I got it. Thanks.
