  Take 'secure' out of the entry for the console in /etc/ttytab. It'll
  make it exactly like any other terminal; also, any attempt to boot
  single-user (or shut down, or whatever), requires giving the root
  pwd, whether or not you were root when you shut it down. Perfect for
  when your server's not well isolated.
