Hello *, I've been trying to setup password protection for editing Grub menu entries and ran into the same problem that even booting requires a password.
After a bit of research I found the following link to Fedora's bug tracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840204#c32 It seems like they settled for a solution that looks like this. Add a new variable to default/grub /etc/default/grub GRUB_RESTRICTED="false" And then setting --unrestricted in /etc/grub.d/10_linux if the variable is set to "true: if [ ${GRUB_RESTRICTED} == "true" ]; then CLASS="--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os" else CLASS="--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted" fi Best regards, Jochen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
