Physical security of the box in question is the only real measure you can take (lock it in a box). Failing this, get a machine (some newer Compaq workstations have this) that lets you restrict floppy booting with BIOS and has a software case-lock.
It's hard to suggest any other measures other than physical security -- if you take out the floppy, someone can always put one in... but you may be able to work out something relatively simple which involves locking the case closed with a strong lock and then setting the BIOS to boot from hard disk first. regards, -tl On Thu, 15 Oct 1998, ZS Choy wrote: > From: ZS Choy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: debian-user <debian-user@lists.debian.org> > Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1998 21:26:12 +0800 > Subject: Root password security > > I wish to know if any expert knows how to improve root password > ptotection/security which could not be disable with "blanking out of > root password" using boot/root floppy. > > Any help will be greatly appreciated. > > Thks & b.r. > z.s. > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -thomas
