I know that by default, anyone can reboot a Linux box, and type linux 1 at
the lilo prompt in order to get into single user mode. I understand the
benefits of a feature such as this (forgotten root's password), but I need
to disable this. I can't allow people to get a root shell simply by
powering down a machine, and typing linux 1 when it boots up.
How does one go about disabling this (if at all possible)?
Thanks,
--Brian
