Actually, I'll log into that box plenty but using ssh keys and a
password for sudo like I do for other open boxes I use. This is an
_image_ I'll boot and log into only if there's trouble. So any attack
would also have to happen at the right time (ie in the time between my
parents in law rebooting the box with the rescue CD inserted and the
time I have everything fixed and I ask them to take the CD out again
and reboot). If I feeling very paranoid (and careful), I suppose I
could set my shell to

#! /bin/sh

/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd stop
bash
reboot
