Hi,
the thing with the Grub Password or the BIOS password is not really
secure...
I will show you another scenario...
I have a notebook with a crypto filesystem. During the boot you have to
enter the Passphrase of the Crypto Device. I you enter a wrong passwd
fsck fails on this system an the checkfs script does a sulogin (without
passwd). So you see, even if you protected the boot loader, that it can
only load the default system without passwd, I have only to type a
wrong passphrase for crypto device and I am root and the fun begins..
:roll:
What can I do to avoid this bad situation??
Regards
Devaude
