Anyone who thinks the system console can be secured against break-in without physical security (meaning denying physical access) is an idiot. Mind you, there are lots of idiots out there, and many of them are best-selling authors on Unix security. That, in fact, is one of my quick-and-dirty criteria for smoking out idiots among security authors. -- Cheers, There are only 10 types of people in this world -- Rick Moen those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don't.
