On suse 8.0 I Have noticed something. When I boot on linux cd (rescue system), I can acces to my partition with root account with no password. Consequence : I can clear root password, and when I reboot, have full access to linux , like root with no password. Is it possible to correct this problem ?
Yes, ensure physical security of the box and encrypt all sensitive data.

Are you insane? Please understand that anything you send to a *public* list cannot in any sense of the word be "confidential". And if your company policy forces you to include it anyway, please trim it a little. That has got to be the worst "disclaimer" I've ever seen. //Anders
