i do not want to let users enter any boot\grub parameters.

I doubt that you can hide this, but you can protect grub menu with password.

after reading your second link you gave, it looks like the grub password only protects grub in the sense that commands can only be entered in the parameter line at the bottom, the user can still boot. this is all good. it then says it supports non-encrypted passwords, but an md5 hash is preferred. does this mean after you enter your grub password in the console and it then returns an md5 hash of the password, which you add into the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. does this mean to add parameters to grub, you need to type in the md5 hash password, or the one you entered in the console? as remembering an md5 hash key might be a bit risky... no???

thanks broch

the only place I know, that you need to enter hash instead of password is
wpa_supplicant.conf

ah i see, so you enter the md5 hash it gives you in the grub.conf file, but when you go to enter boot parameters you put the password in which gave you the md5 hash if that makes sense. gotcha, cheers broch/ o wise one
