hi,

Has anybody taken any effort to avoid "linux single" giving u shell prompt
under root user??

i tried putting an entry in lilo.conf as

restricted
password = "xyz"

ideally it should restrict entry to linux single....and it should ask for
that "xyz" password.
but it doesnt work. So extra additions required anywhere to get it work??

thanks in advance
regards
amey.
