Well, you can always bring Unix up in single user mode and change the
files that way on just about ANY Unix box.  That is really no more
secure than using the comment field.

Many systems have a novram inside allowing the operator to set the
system up to ask for a password on single user boots.  Maybe C= could
provide us with a ROM which won't come up in AmigaDos and we could
modify the Unix boot track to ask for password on single-user...
Alas, a number of times I have had to halt the system and take it to
single user because I didn't know the root password (Once I forgot it,
blush; once they forgot to tell me) and have never seen a system with
the secure console on.
