Note that the network sysrq automatically disables after the receipt of

Good idea, but: why not add a single key (e.g. a hash digest with 
the key hashed in) and make it reasonably secure?  
That should not be that hard and would make it a lot more useful.

It would not defend against all attacks, but probably make it
"LAN grade" at least.
