There is a good reason to choose a case sensitive file system.
If you are concerned by the quality and the security of the applications you run you might be interested by any early mechanism which may discriminate badly programmed applications.
An application which at one time create a file named conf and later
try to open the same file with the name CONF ...

Note: With OS X Lion and an SSD drive, Secure Erase and Erasing Free Space are not available in Disk Utility. These options are not needed for an SSD drive because a standard erase makes it difficult to ...

Here is an approach totally outside of the MacOS X GUI.
Hence this approach of the problem won't interfere with any network
or VPN setting.
Let's say I want to use an IPSEC VPN (based on the use of 500/udp == isakmp & 50/ip == esp).
Create an ipfw configuration file just allowing the required protocols to build the VPN:
/usr/bin/sudo cat ...

If you have the developer tools installed, you can view the signing information for a binary using this command:

Executable=/Volumes/Big Disk/F376/Projects/<My App>
Identifier=<My Bundle ID>
Format=bundle with Mach-O thin (x86_64)

Unless your password is a complex one and has been changed recently, the most logical problem is that your password isn't new enough for the system to offer you the two-step authorization change.
It is a bit of a pain to change the password (since you will need to change it everywhere - perhaps multiple times on each Computer and iOS device), but once ...

It should be possible to boot an external drive (including the installation DVD) in single user mode:
Hold Option as you turn the power on, select the DVD/HDD with the arrow keys then press and hold Command+S+Return, holding them down until you see the now-familiar-for-you console boot: at which point it would be possible to use a whole disk shredder as ...

Let's set aside any solution where you bring a second piece of networking gear to the problem. Let's also let the problem of stopping traffic after the VPN fails to this related, but different question.
I look at this problem as a user centric solution and not something that's easily accomplished by modifying the OS X behavior.
Set up two accounts on your ...
