It is secure, If you keep it that way and do not mess with things you do not
know about. Don't change things if you do not know what it can do to your
system..

Subject: [newbie] Lack of security when booting in Linux single
> Hi,

> Recently my system failed to boot (I had added something to rc.local, that
didn't belong there). On irc I was told that I could still boot if I gave
linux single at the LILO boot. This worked, but to my surprise I never had
to enter a login or a password. Even then, I was allowed to change rc.local
back to what it was.
