And if you have physical access then you can simply use a floppy, usb
dongle, or any other type of removable media to boot from.  Once
physical access is obtained then you pretty much have full access,
barring full disk encryption.  Personally I see linux's password for
single user mode to be like a screen door infront of an old door with
a combination lock on it.  It takes VERY little effort to punch a
whole through it, even if you only have 1 minute alone with the
server.
