Comment (by dogcow):

 I agree, even if Haiku remains single-user, having a method of preventing
 unauthorized access to the system would be ideal.

 However, I think a simple password would not really provide much real
 security. Rather than spending the effort on just a password alone, I
 think something like this should be implemented along with whole-disk or
 home directory encryption.
