The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Use the password and restricted options in lilo.conf:

       password=password
              Protect the image by a password.

       restricted
              A password is only required to boot  the  image  if
              parameters  are specified on the command line (e.g.
              single).

See lilo.conf(5) for more details.

Ensuring absolute security when people have physical access to the
machine is next to impossible, but you can make things more difficult.
Set the BIOS so that it boots from the hard drive before the floppy
drive, and set the password protection on the BIOS.  Other things you
might want to do are disconnect the reset switch, comment out the
ctrlaltdel action in /etc/inittab, and lock the case.

Presumably a lab proctor would notice if somebody took apart the
computer to reset the bios or mount the hard drive from a laptop.
