| actually, if you're going that route, it's easier to strip the kernel
| down, lock everything nicely with a securelevel (read up in init(8) about
| this), and remount all of the drives read only. there's nothing preventing
| anyone from doing that. there's also nothing to prevent you from booting
| from a drive, and loading all the tools you need in to a ramdisk, and just
| using that..
| 
| of course, this is going a bit more hardcore than most people want or
| would.
