Re: Poll: What do you use to dual boot?

said by davidsmind:
BTW you can password protect lilo as well.

code:

image = /boot/my-kernel
label = secret
password = "my password"
root = /dev/hda2

And you can't boot secret without a password.
code:

image = /boot/my-kernel
label = secured
password = "my password"
restricted
root = /dev/hda2

And you can't specify extra kernel parameters without the password.

Don't forget to mention that you should restrict read access to the lilo.conf file after making changes like that. The passwords are stored in clear text...
