Subscribing ubuntu-sru for Hardy stable release update request. ** Description changed:
+ SRU: + The affected section was removed in Lucid as it no longer applies, but there is a patch posted in comment #4 for Hardy. The existing documentation is unclear for enabling password security in GRUB. + Impact: Adjustment to documentation means the affected and new strings to be translated. + + ---- + Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs Hi, Just found few bugs in Console Security how-to located at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/console-security.html. Bugs are related to GRUB Password Security how-to and affect all versions of documentation. 1. First of all there should be a note that "password --md5 pass" string has not to be located under the title item but in a global area. 2. The string "# lockalternative=false" confused me, it is necessary to note that string has not to be copied without hash char. It has to be edited as "# lockalternative=true" because it as a template for grub-update scripts. 3. !!!This is a major bug!!! After editing lockalternative to true it is necessary to put "lock" parameter under the title with recover mode as follows: title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.xx-x-generic (recovery mode) lock uuid xxx kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx-x-generic root=UUID=xxx ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.xx-x-generic 4. !!!It is necessary to note, that lock parameter which has been added in the item 3 will not be modified by grub-update script(in case of kernel upgrade and other changes) because of "# lockalternative=true". Without "# lockalternative=true" single user mode will be unlocked on next grub-update. BTW, do we need to add lock parameter each time to the new title with a new kernel? -- Major bug in Console Security help page (affects 9.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384148 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
