So now, when I boot into the PC, I have to press 'p' and enter the password and this is what which is expected. But when logging in _when_ I don't press 'p' (to enter the password and boot) but only long press Enter, I get booted, so why the above option (of appending the grub-md5 password to the global section of '/boot/grub/menu.lst' file) is not working in this particular case?
It's working but different than you expected. The password protects against modifications of the kernel command line. IIRC that's all it provides. And it's the way I used it in the past. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
