So what is the bot in question to be used for? --mat On Thu, 2003-09-18 at 11:06, Joey Kelly wrote: > Thou spake: > >anyone in here know anything about running IRC bots?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Is there a way to stop someone with physical access to the box from booting into single user mode and changing the root password? I'm not interested in solutions that require setting a boot or poweron password in the BIOS. I'd like something that could be done in the Linux kernel, so as to apply to multiple platforms. Thanks, John Hebert
