Bug#145244: Securing Debian Manual: desactivating prompt when the system is brought up
Package: www.debian.org
Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-30
Severity: important
Tags: security
In the Securing Debian Manual, this no mention on how to desactivate the prompt
when the system is brought up.
The answer is in man mkinitrd.conf:
"DELAY The number of seconds the linuxrc script should wait to
allow the user to interrupt it before the system is brought up."
This feature is a potential security problem.
OMHO, it should even be desactivated by default.
At the very least, it should be documented in the Securing Manual.
Thanks,
Yann
