Hi Gang This is bugging me.
I'm learning about Linux hardening at the moment, and one of the things I've learned, and quoted from http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection is how to add a password prompt to single user mode, which, by default, CentOS gives an open root prompt. According to the above link, running: echo "# Require the root pw when booting into single user mode" >> /etc/inittab echo "~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin" >> /etc/inittab As root, will supposedly force init to prompt for a root password before giving a root prompt. You can sort of test what should happen simply by calling /sbin/sulogin whilst logged in as root. Anyway, I cant seem to get it to work, any ideas? I'm running Centos 6.0 Regards Richard _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
