It is extremely difficult to protect against people with physical or root access to a machine. If I can sit down in front of it, I can get root
Indeed.
I am not as sure. If you have securitelly configured system and case with security lock, you could not get local access in any manner.
uhm... it will get a bit *harder*, not impossible. Important to note that it will *never* be impossible. As long as there is a console available to the machine it will work.
You need to not allow login to that console to work. You need to add prompt password for singleuser mode (in Linux). Then getting local console is impossible (if you does not have floppy,CD, USB and bootable NIC) for any intruder. JL.
