Yes, I saw your post, and thank you very much for taking the time.

FWIW, we have a wide selection of documents at the LDP which address
security from various angles, and several of them discuss physical
security as well as runlevels and runlevel security issues. Among the
best are:

Securing and Optimizing Linux Red Hat Edition - a Hands on Guide
Linux Administrator's Security Guide

Both of these guides discuss the topic in question thoroughly.

Testing can show the presense of bugs, but not their absence.
