Hi,
Here is a quick program, in fact the one referenced by Karl Kleinpaste,
used at OSU to prevent anyone from booting a sun singleuser. It halts the
sun if the passwd is given incorrectly, and never times out.

pwentry = getpwuid(ROOT_UID); /* get passwd file entry */
rootword = pwentry->pw_passwd;
salt[0] = rootword[0]; /* grab the salt */
salt[1] = rootword[1];
salt[2] = NULL;
userword = getpass ("Password:"); /* get one from console */
result = crypt(userword, salt);
if ( !(strcmp (result, rootword)) ) {
printf ("hi, root person.\n");
exit (0);
}
else {
printf ("Sorry - halting Unix.\n");
sync();
reboot (RB_HALT);
}
}
