| If you hold down command-s while booting osx will put you in single user mode, which doesnt start any services and instead just dumps you into a root shell, without asking for a password. Is there a way to secure this? | ||

Edit /etc/ttys. Change the 'console' line from 'secure' to 'insecure'. Single user now requires a password. -

That doesn't work for me, for some reason. Can you specify exactly what the line should read?
No matter what I do, it still does not require a password anywhere in the process of booting into single user mode.
