Reg. Grub password & Change of Permissions for /home folder.
I am using Lenny.
I have created partitions using "Guided partition" and I choose the
option for "seperate folders for everything".
[1] Today I was going through "HowTo : Securing Debian" and came across
the suggestion of "Pawword for Grub".
But when I did open the /boot/grub/menu.lst there are a lot of entries
starting with # symbol.
I have used the follwoing commands to create a password for grub.
root terminal - Grub - grub-md5-crypt
and after creation of md5 password, i have run the followig command :
root terminal - grub update.
I have edited the file with the follwoing entries :
timeout 3
password --md5 encryptedpassword data.
Should I delete the below lines of the file [ menu.lst ].
[2] I am unable to create a folder in /home folder.
I did check everyother folders and to my shock I found that Owner and
Group is "root".
I request members to guide me for changing permissions for /home folder.
Meanwhile I will do some googling.
Thank You,
@ Bhagya.
