By the admin's first opportunity to change the settings the box could
already be rooted.
I'm not sure how you can root a computer from installing signed
content by a user that already has physical access to the machine.
You install software with a known buffer overflow before it is fixed and
exploit it. More software = more chances to exploit. Bingo!
If a user logged in from a physical local console wanted to exploit
their machine, this would be the hard way to do it.
If the servers are in locked racks and you require a reboot to get
access to a grub prompt which is not password protected, then the outage
would trip the monitoring system.
