I read the whole thread of your debate. Congratulations for hanging in there
for what is right.
What I don't get is why a GRUB password can't be off by default? How does
that lead to a user being able to log in straight as root without a
password??? I don't know about you, but I do not have a GRUB password, but I
do have a user password. If someone other than me boots my system, they
don't have to put in a GRUB password, they are taken directly to the lightdm
display manager to log in with a user password.
I'm sure I'm missing something, please explain.
