Well, a machine is only as secure the person administrating it. If it can not be moved to a secure place then I would disable the floppy and the CDROM for starters. I would also put a password in the bios so that if the machine is rebooted no one can access it. I would also get a lock for the case so no one just walks up and pops the case open to make a copy of the hard drive. The rescue disk is only a security risk if you let it become this. * Guy Van Sanden (sienix@flashmail.com) [000904 13:49]: -->Just a question. --> -->Can I use my rescue system to boot any SuSE linux system or just -->the ones that were installed from that disk? --> -->If yes, this would be a serious security gap, because my linux -->server can't be placed in a secure location.
