Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
In the menu.lst, it explains in the "password" section about using the
lock command.
However, the "lock" command is not part of the automagic kernel "default
options" sections. Yes, there are options for alternative and old
kernels (lockalternative, lockold), but how do I lock my default kernel?
If I do set the "lock" option manually by changing the automagic kernels
list and appending the "lock" keyword under the "title" of my default
kernel, it does work okay.
However this is not really a solution since users are not supposed to
modify the automagic kernel section. It will be overridden by update-
grub the next time the kernel is upgraded and "update-grub" is run.
What is required is a feature-enhancement of update-grub in order to add
the "lock" option to kernels in the "default options" section.
Apologies if there is already a way to do this. But I have been through
all the docs I could find and I did not find anything suitable.
This is different from bug #21412 since I am not saying the options are
not user friendly. Rather, there is no option to set this feature.
