Yea.
To boot single user in Linux, just 'B -S'.
To boot single user in System V, the same works, but you will have to give
the root pw in order to gain access. That was the first thing I tried in
Solaris when I was trying to crack the sunbox.
BTW, it was owned by the Marshall Space Flight Center and used for rocket
exhaust modeling among a couple of other rather boring tasks.
I don't think the methods I used to crack the machine's hard disk is
neccessarily exploiting a security fault because it assumes physical
access to the server (with a screwdriver and a lot of time).
