I've newly installed arch on a laptop, and ( paranoid as always ) I wanted to
password-protect the menu editing in grub2, as described in the wiki. It
always worked until now, but now the entries became password-protected even
against booting. (That actually works, when I type in user/password)
What I did was :
generate a hashed pass with
# grub-mkpasswd-pbkdf2
and I've put the following code at the end of /etc/grub.d/00_header:
--------------------------------
cat << EOF
set superusers="myname"
password_pbkdf2 myname grub.pbkdf2.sha512.10000.looooooooooooooongstring
EOF
-------------------------------
I've seen that there was a package update of grub2-common and grub2-bios the
28 june, maybe something has changed upstream?
How can I now setup grub2 to be password-protected only against EDITING and
not BOOTING?
[EDIT: I can regenerate the same behaviour on a system running in Virtualbox
too.]
