Scientific Linux 7x - Too much system hardening!
Some Linux users like my company build Linux servers to use on factory production lines. We write software to load BIOS and FLASH memory and test our products. We constantly need to reboot these production Linux servers and continue testing WITHOUT NEEDING AN OPERATOR to sit there and enter a root PASSWORD on every reboot. There are users out there that don't want or need mandatory root/user password security. It just adds COST to the production processes. How in RHEL 7.x (or more specifically Scientific Linux 7.x) can we simply boot a system into runlevel1 (emergency/rescue mode) without a root password? I've done days of research and have not found a method to disable the root password. Is it possible? (BTW: this was not a problem in 6.x)
