abmst is available for:

Mac OS X Jaguar/Panther/Tiger/Leopard/Snow Leopard

Note on Snow Leopard:

Terminal.app on Snow Leopard has a bug which removes the user customized Terminal Preferences entries after some time (we have reported this to Apple months ago with no results :-((, we just received a note that this is a know bug...
If this happens on your Mac you can work around this bug until Apple fixes it as follows:

As root user or with commando sudo enter the following line in the pure text file /etc/crontab:

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * user defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal Shell '/usr/local/bin/abmst-en /usr/bin/login'

and replace "user" with the short username whose Terminal.app preferences should be adjusted automatically every 10 minutes.

Apple said abmst is not a suitable product for Mac users – may be this is the reason why they don't fix the bug?
But hey, what about those (abmst) users how love to have a more secure Mac? Don't ignore them, Apple.
