Re: [LI] Linux Single



You have to change the LILO boot options 

The relevant extract from the Security-HOWTO is 

##  3.3.  Boot Loader Security
##
##  The various Linux boot loaders also can have a boot password set.
##  Using lilo, take a look at the "restricted" and "password" settings.
##  "password" allows you to set a bootup password. "restricted" will let
##  the machine boot _unless_ someone specifies options at the lilo:
##  prompt (like 'single').
