It's easy *if* you have physical access to the machine. But in that situation, you could just remove the hard drive and take it home. Or install a keystroke logger into the keyboard to capture the root password. If an attacker can get physical access to the system, you lose. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
