Your right, no machine is ever 100% secure, my goal in eliminating the
linux single option is simply to remove the painfully easy and obvious
ways for any fool to gain root access. If someone really wants to get
root privs, they'll always find a way, that's the only thing about
security that I'm always positive about.
