We didn't do anything like this because of the fact, what happens if it gets
hacked and changed, then you can't push the button to reset it and you'd
have to restore...  Have you considered putting the box in a locker of some
sort with a pad lock?  That would prevent unauthorized physical access to
the box and should the admin/root passwords be reset by someone, then you
could still push the button.  Just a thought..
