RE: lilo-password-dos
You just need to add a "password=XXXXXX" line to each OS stanza as
shown in the lilo.conf file below. You are prompted for
a password after entering your OS selection at the lilo prompt:
prompt
compact
single-key
timeout=600
boot=/dev/hda
message=/boot/message
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
alias=1
password=linpass
root=/dev/hda7
read-only
other=/dev/hda2
label=Win95/WinNT
alias=2
password=winpass
change
partition=/dev/hda2
activate
set=dos16_big_normal
partition=/dev/hda1
deactivate
set=dos16_big_hidden
other=/dev/hda1
label=MSDOS/Win3.11
alias=2
password=dospass
change
partition=/dev/hda1
activate
set=dos16_big_normal
partition=/dev/hda2
set=dos16_big_hidden
deactivate
Since the passwords are plain text, you want to make sure that only root
has
read permission on your lilo.conf file. Note: I've got version 20 of LILO
(because
I need the partition activation/deactivation and partition
hiding/unhiding stuff
that is only present in version 20), but I believe passwords were
supported in
the same manner in the version that comes with BO (version 19).
