Change this line (in /etc/ttys): console none unknown off secure to: console none unknown off insecure This does not prevent booting from a floppy, and mounting filesystems from there. Even if you disable floppy/cdrom booting (or remove all floppy/cdrom drives), it does not prevent opening the machine and shorting the "reset bios cmos settings" jumper. -- Zach Heilig (zach@gaffaneys.com) Our one strength was that our senior officers were more flexible than theirs...
