you miss the point here. Say you patch your kernel so that it ignores the boot parameter, should be fairly easy to change. But this does not achieve any thing at all. I can still go with my floppy/cd having my own os ( neednt be linux at all) and boot your pc from it if its accesible. You can disable booting from floppy/network/cdrom etc but there just cant be any security without physical security. -- sreangsu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com - A 128-bit supercerts will allow you to extend the highest allowed 128 bit encryption to all your clients even if they use browsers that are limited to 40 bit encryption.
