That's right. The complete story is that I would like to
protect it from my nasty family. :) They should know the
BIOS password to restart my machine when I am away from home
but I wouldn't like them to reach single user mode. Thanks
for your advice, I think the best way is to edit /etc/ttys
and set a BIOS user password for them.

Edit /etc/ttys and remove the secure option and disable
booting from
CD/Floppy and set a BIOS password so to change the BIOS
you need
authentication. Boot authentication is another option
however it
becomes a pain in the arse when you are away from home and
the power
goes out, hence your server gets knocked offline until
someone enters
a password.
Simple enough,
John.

Hi folks,
I have a big root access problem. If someone has physical
access to my OpenBSD box, than he/she can swith into single
user mode (-s) and can change the password of root. It is a
big problem for me and I would like to password protect this
single user mode or to totally disable this function but I
don't know how.
Is anyone here who solved this problem? Please help, thanks!
