xcalibur56_2633 : 15/02/03 05:33 PM : Incident created -   There is a way to force Linux before it loads (exactly after select the OS from LILO) to ask for a password ? Before the system shows the window od user and password, i mean like the password of certain motherboards when you turn on and ask by a password, linux can do it?
Linegod_7611 : 15/02/03 07:24 PM : Reply received -   To add a password to your /etc/lilo.conf, insert a line like this: password=123456 ie: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21pre4-5mdk label="linux" root=/dev/hde1 read-only vga=794 append=" devfs=mount mem=nopentium noquiet" password=123456 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21pre4-5mdk.img Once you have edited lilo.conf run '/sbin/lilo' to reload it. This will password the 'linux' boot only. All others, and other kernels will boot without a password. Add the 'password=' line to any ones you want. ------ Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
