You'd have to completely redesign and build 'puppy' -it ignores any possible bit of security -period. If you are running a multi-user or multi-computer shop, you need to use a distro which is meant for and allows that. Puppy has none of the necessary infrastructure to implement any such thing.

Are you wanting to just have to enter a login to get Puppy booted?
Or
Are you wanting each user to have their own login and password?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

Fatdog64 has this facility. You just have to enable it.

Oh very cool! I did not realize that. Good to know when advising someone on some good options for operating systems that fit their needs.

The closest thing in an unmodified Puppy would be a separate encrypted save file for each user.

When it boots, a list of the save files would be presented, each user would choose their own and then be prompted to enter their password.

You could probably do that with the boot loader.
