i'd like to politely add that this only supports plain text passwords as opposed to hashed (eg: md5 which old grub had). it would be nice to have support for hashed passwords (like sha1/sha256) in this grub, so this is no longer a regression. thanks! -- grub2 doesn't support security features,

I'm unmarking this as a regression now, as the core facility is implemented even though it's not as convenient to use as it might be. (You can write an /etc/grub.d/ script to emit the appropriate commands, for instance.) ** Tags removed: regression-potential -- grub2 doesn't support security

There's now basic support for this (in 1.97~beta1), but it probably needs to be glued into grub-mkconfig somehow as well. Still, this may be enough for some people. 2009-08-25 Vladimir Serbinenko phco...@gmail.com Authentication support. * commands/password.c: New file.
