BR,
Edit /etc/ttys and look for the following line:
# If console is marked "insecure", then init will ask for the root password
# when going to single-user mode.
console none unknown off secure
Change "secure" to "insecure" (no quotes) this will require the root
password to be entered when booting into Single User Mode.
Thanks,
Russ

If the box isn't physically secured then this is just blowin in the
wind. Short of fully encrypted disks that require a token/password at
boot, there isn't any security in this kind of environment.
