Package: grub Version: 0.97-5 Severity: normal I created a grub installation with update-grub, and got the following report from tiger: # Verifying system specific password checks... NEW: --FAIL-- [boot02] The configuration file /boot/grub/menu.lst has world permissions. Should be 0600 NEW: --WARN-- [boot02] The configuration file /boot/grub/menu.lst has group permissions. Should be 0600 NEW: --WARN-- [boot06] The Grub bootloader does not have a password configured.
All the entries in /boot/grub are world-readable. The explanation is # tigexp boot02 The grub configuration file (/boot/grub/grub.conf) should have permissions limiting access to only the owner (usually root). I'm guessing this is because it may have passwords in it; nothing in my menu.lst looks sensitive. If you think the current permissions are appropriate, please reassign this bug to tiger.
