I installed Linux redhat v7.0 for checking its abilities. It has a good and frienly environment but I find some bugs that has been listed below: 1- in your PASSWD command at first you must ask old password after that (if it was true)you want New password. 2- last week when boot> prompt appeared I entered LINUX SINGLE and perssed Enter in this case after # prompt I had root abilities and I changed root passwor (with PASSWD command). So,your OS security is Low(I think) but I really like Linux. I must tell you that I sent this mail Last week but it was rejected (because I entered (sup-manager)without "m" in "com").

It's intentional; if you have console access to lilo, you can boot up as root anyways. You might consider setting a password in lilo if you don't like this idea.
