I can't have it boot straight into Linux because it also runs
windows95. The problem is that the console is in an open lab and anyone
could reboot and use linux single to gain root privs and I'm trying to
remove this giant security hole. Can anyone help? I'd rather not have
to play with the lilo or the kernel source, but if that's the only way
to do it I will.
Thanks,
Craig
