Perfect security is the ideal case. Somethings to try to achieve that goal in increasing levels of security
1. Use a password for LILO. 2. Use a system boot password. 3. Make you boot order HDD/CDROM/FLOPPY (or HDD only!) 4. Lock the computer case to prevent CMOS RAM reset 5. Put you machine inside a steel cage to prevent unauthorized use 6. Lock you room when you go out (This is extreme and possibly not doable) Actually, 1,2,3 are pretty straight forward but can be a PIT(AN) if you boot your system often (or reboots occur due to power failures) point 4 is only possible on some computer cases that have such a facility. But I guess you get my point...
