Won't the password and restricted options accomplish this within LILO?

(Correct?) Look at moving from lilo to grub. Grub has a password facility. I think you can set it to let a normal boot go by but require a password to change to, say, a single user boot. If physical security is lacking, you might also want to look at having a BIOS password and case intrusion switch, not letting a CD-ROM or floppy boot, etc. Tricky stuff. Good luck, -kb, the Kent who knows more about lilo. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
