Hello,
LILO password protection means that the user can do
_nothing_ but boot the default kernel without password.
I can get this behaviour with grub by protecting all
entries but the default with 'lock', but this is rather
tedious and can easily lead to errors.
A global option: 'lock-all-but-default' would be much
appreciated. It's quite easy to implement by refusing
to accept arrow-keys (or ^ and v) while not
authorized.
I could try to come up with a patch, if the maintainers
will consider accepting such a feature.
Cheers,
Han Holl
