Hi!
just stepped on this option to type "linux init=/bin/sh" at the boot prompt, which gives me a root shell. For me, that's really a security problem: We have some computers here which we cannot protect with boot-passwords because they have to come up automatically after a power drop. Can I somehow disable this possibility of passing an alternative init-parameter for my SuSE 6.4?
this is from SuSE /etc/lilo.conf: # Start LILO global Section # If you want to prevent console users to boot with init=/bin/bash, # restrict usage of boot params by setting a passwd and using the option # restricted. password=password restricted good luck! Yuri.
