Won't the password and restricted options accomplish this within LILO?
Check man lilo.conf

single user mode is normally reserved for root only. A lot of services just
aren't turned on by default. As root, you can just su to the user that you need
to be, for whatever reason. and, of course, as root, you can create the user

Hi, here's a thought... it's all theory, but I'd like to try it, if it works for
you please let me know...
I was thinking that I could redirect /dev/console as a serial terminal ...
then get something like HP's web console and attach the serial port to it...

Thanks!
The reason I was looking at an option other than a bios password was so that
I can reboot the box remotely. The options you specified for LILO will only
require a password if parameters are specified on the command line (e.g.
single, correct?

There are several reasons it does not come more secure by default.
Security is always a tradeoff, and it is not up
I was just thinking about something and realized I forgot to include it in
my previous e-mail...
One of the major security flaws with Linux when it comes to physical
access is LILO being terribly insecure about dropping to single-user
mode, etc.
It seems to me an obvious path to take would be if

There are several ways to go to single user mode.
#init s
#init S
#init 1
as the root user will bring a running system to the level. This does not
always work gracfully (depends on how well written the kill scripts are)
Another way is to reboot the computer and at the LILO prompt, type
At the boot prompt, i.e. Linux boot:
you type "linux single" without the quotes.
On mine, it stops all of the network and multi-user stuff that Red Hat or
possibly Linux itself
normally sets up.
