I think SunOS 4.0 can be configured to require the >superuser password before coming up in single user mode. I posted to Sun-Spots (v6n24) a simple program that can be used to make a Sun 3.X machine require a password when booting up single user. It gets executed at the end of /.profile (which is only executed on single user boot). The same scheme should work for any other machine with a similar boot mechanism. -- Bruce G.
