Rationale: if I can tell grub to boot in single-user mode, then I can also edit the kernel command line to add "init=/bin/bash" and skip the password prompt altogether. If you want the local console to be secure, you'd need to set a bios password, grub password, disable floppy/cdrom boot and probably also lock the case so it can't be tampered. -- // Bernardo Innocenti - Develer S.r.l., R&D dept. \X/ http://www.develer.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
