Re: Re: Breaking in from the monitor at the console

Supposedly, removing "secure" from the ttytab entry for the console
should prevent booting single user or other nonstandard without providing
the root password.

If /etc/security/passwd.adjunct exists, you'll get the same behaviour.

Neither will protect against the 'alternate' init attack.  (boot -i /hack/my_init.)
