Don't forget that although you've now made it non-trivial to break into your computer with console access, it's still easy for a physical attacker to: - remove your hard drive - boot from a USB key or CD or floppy etc - mess with your BIOS settings. This is why by default there's no root password for single user; if an attacker has physical access you're screwed anyway!

Re: pass for single user mode
Hi, To set password for single usermode in FreeBSD: * 1.Edit /etc/ttys* vi /etc/ttys * 2.Change the following line *: *From* consolenoneunknown off secure > *To* consolenoneunknown off insecure > *3.Save and quit editor(vi)* Reboot the box and boot into single user mode, if you wanna test it. By the way, the keyword "insecure" imply to the console is insecure and thus required root password to be authenticated before single user mode can be access. It DOES NOT mean that the console is run insecurely. Take note. On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 11:02 PM, K.

Re: pass for single user mode
Have a look at /etc/ttys. Chris Sorry for top-posting, Android won't let me quote, but K-9 can't yet do threading. On 11 Dec 2010 16:34, "K.
