Hi, add password option in LILO for single user mode You also need to change the permissions for lilo.conf as read only and that to only to root so that other users can't read this password as this is in plain text
How to for this you can get by googling HTS, Aniruddha -----Original Message----- From: Kunal Shah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 12:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [LIH]not asking password on single user mode Hi All, I have installed mandrake linux 8.2 While some one do linux single from the boot prompt, he is allowed to enter to the system without asking password. I dont want to block single user mode but I want security in such a way that whenever user wants to enter to single user mode, there also he has to supply root's password. Please advice me how to go about it .
