Hi,

Just curious, but Is there a way to disable the usage of using runlevel
one?

Scenario:

users (slightly knowledgeable), wants to gain access to system, so he is
allowed to overcome any boot passwd options, so he can boot his pc,
whats stopping him/her from entering : single or 1 at the grub prompt to
change the root passwd?

Basically my company are going to employ 600 odd workstations in a call
center and do not want the users to have any root privileges at all, or
gain them either.

I was thinking of removing runlevel one from rc.d, would this work?

Mark
