consider this (I'm trying to make a network more secure) : A user enters grub upon bootup and hits "e" to edit the Linux boot procedure and then continues to boot into single user mode, and he then chagnes the root password to whatever he suits.... the user who did this is eventually tracked down and taken care of. Now, how would I prevent this from happening in future instances?
