[As I got no responses in comp.unix.ultrix, I will try here.  I guess
the world is ignoring me :)]

This is for a MicroVax II running Ultrix 4.1...

If I mark the console as non-secure in the /etc/tty file (i.e.,
take out the word security) that
	will stop the machine going to single user mode
	at shutdown or coming up to it by a 'b/2' from the >>> prompt
	WITHOUT asking for the root password?

	Stop root logining at the console?

Thanks for any advice...
