If
they are at the keyboard on the machine and can go to single user mode.. Sure..
I
would think everything else works as intended...
If
your in single user mode doesn't it just force the console to be the only "user"
and no need to log in?
I
would also guess no xwindows?
-----Original Message-----This is great and all for in this case, when you forget your password, but what about the security implications of this? Can't just "any ol' user" do this and gain root privledges?
