So, does it mean that Windows 2003 Server provides more Password Level Security with Unauthorized Access?
And how can one into the System by booting from a CD if it still requires the Password even in Single User mode? On 11/22/06, Jerry McAllister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Lock it in a box. Anyone who can put their hands physically can get in to the machine with a little tinkering even if you disable lots of software. I think you can get rid of the single user option in the boot, but anyone with a CD can defeat that if they want to. It would make things harder for yourself in managing the system, but it would slow a person down from casual interference. Also, many machines have BIOS level boot passwords that can be turned on. Using that would slow a person down, but be annoying for youself, especially in times such as power failures - the system would not come back up automatically without someone entering the BIOS password. Plus, if a person is determined enough, they can defeat that as well by removing the battery backup for the MB or the flash memory. But, it would stop casual tinkering. ////jerry > > Thanks in advance > > -- > > BR / vj > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
