Despite Mac's glory for user interactivity, its single user mode gives virtually anyone root access.
To secure this, for Mac 10.5 and above, do the following:
1)Add the password for the root user at single user mode by typing the following using any admin user
sudo passwd -i file root
2)Open the profile file of the root using:
sudo pico /var/root/.profile
and add the following:
if ["$TERM"="vt100"];
then
/usr/bin/lock -p -t 86343727
fi
3) Also remember to download the lock binary either from
tech.tedthepenguin/lock.zip or
get it from 10.4 or
email me and I will send it to u
and add it to the /usr/bin folder since it is unavailable since 10.5
