Trivial to defeat.  Just boot in to single user mode with these kernel
options:
        single init=/bin/bash

Again .. only due to initial misconfiguration.

Nobody should allow alternate switches to be passed to the kernel at boot .. either by password-protecting the bootloader, or via firmware (as with OpenBoot).
