Secondly the security argument here is simply peeing in the wind as you can
hit ctrl-alt-f1 and log in as root on a text console.
Got an interesting situation recently: I just had installed a
reasonably updated fc5 with a us keyboard with no (nis) users enabled
yet, then moved the box to its final destination where the user has a
french (azerty) keyboard. C-A-F1 didn't work, but the rest of the
keyboard did, so I logged in as graphically as root.
Then opened an xterm, did a chvt 1, login and loadkeys fr, but that's
just me.
So, amusingly, there are cases where C-A-F1 does not work.
