Dear sirs month ago i read that there is a way to gain the root privileges' over a linux box - with a little trick. Now, i do not remember that trick, but one of our sysadmins left the company and he doesn't want to give back that password. Is there anyone that knows that little trick? Is there anyone that knows how to configure lilo to protect from that trick?
That would be great, it would save me the time to search among lotsa articles.
Thanks in advance
Yours truly

If he password protected LILO you have pretty much had it. Your best bet would be to try legal ways of forcing him to disclose the password. Matt
