Right, then.  You have a bank of x86 Linux machines on which I (among
other users) am allowed to use the console, including physical access to
the floppy drives.  You have charged someone with supervising the room.
You've password-protected LILO, and the system ROM BIOS.  Question,
Nicolai:  Can I get root inside of 60 seconds, anyway?

And how much do you want to bet on that?
