I'd prefer to see this done only if they set a password. A GRUB_CHMOD variable seems overkill, though. > Else I'd need to add a /etc/grub.d/999_chmod file in grub-installer > which changes the mode of grub.cfg.new if the user wants to have a > password. I think it'd be more sensible to do this in grub-mkconfig itself - it doesn't really fit well into the /etc/grub.d/ hook system, which is really just for generating output. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
