Package: grub
Version: 0.93+cvs20031021-8
Severity: wishlist
Tags: security
I suggest that
- the file /boot/grub/menu.lst automatically generated by grub
configuration tools,
- the example provided in the /usr/share/doc/ documentation,
- the info documentation about the password command
remember the ineperimented user to chmod o-r the file before adding
its own uncrypted password into it.
