Hi would like to know abt this command of red hat
linux
grub-md5-crypt its easy to encrypt the passwd from this command
but how to store the encrypted password?
This encrypted password is most commonly used to set the GRUB password. Edit the /etc/grub.conf file and add the following line:
password --md5 <paste-encrypted-passwd-here>
This prevents unauthorized access to setting boot parameters. (Like entering Single Mode and changing the root password.)
