I am wanting to have astlinux run my passwd file on the RAM disk.. so that
if someone were to try and root hack the box, they could not mount the disk
in another machine and chroot to it, or simply write a new /etc/passwd file
over the top of mine.
A script at bootup would handle creating the new file that astlinux will use
to log users in .
Is there a way to accomplish this?
My intent is for someone to not be able to crack the root passcode of a
running system. they can do what they want with the drive and a non running
system. but when they would try to boot it up to run it would fail out.
