Support for disabling invocation of rescue mode from kernel cmdline
The rescue mode that can be invoked from the kernel command line is potentially unsafe. Many systems lock the root user account, or use another account for managing, e.g. 'admin'. The sulogin program(s) would on such systems give the user a root prompt. In #357 we added support for setting a custom sulogin user, but for some systems that is not enough. On many embedded systems the /etc/passwd and shadow files are populated at bootstrap and at the time rescue mode runs, these files will be unpopulated. The only, truly safe, approach on such systems is to disable rescue mode completely. Otherwise intricate Finit plugins have to be used that run before rescue mode is started -- increasing the complexity of the system as a whole. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
