Dasu,
As Kingsly and Suresh put it, the ultimate security
is physical security. To get into a box, you don't need
LILO, any rescue disk set will do ... and loadlin there
as well ... even a CMOS password is not good enough, if
someone is smart enough to disconnect the battery for a
few secs !!!
Solution: 50 Kg lock with a 500 gm key !

The best screen saver for your system is the Power switch of
your monitor - saves both electricity and phosphor .... Blank
