Hi, I am trying the simple menu passswd in syslinux 3.11, and it seems that if I set the timeout option, the menu passwd is ignored. For example: ----------- default menu.c32 timeout 70 prompt 0 noescape 1 MENU MARGIN 5 MENU MASTER PASSWD $4$x$03NXHMe7QS0Ukxlkyh684LkWdqY$ label local MENU DEFAULT # MENU HIDE MENU LABEL Local operating system (if available) MENU PASSWD localboot 0 label memtest # MENU DEFAULT # MENU HIDE MENU LABEL Memory test using Memtest86+ MENU PASSWD kernel memtest86 ------------- Then when I boot the client, it will automatically boot into local disk in 7 secs. I think maybe the password priority should be higher than timeout option, i.e. if the menu password is set, then timeout option should be ignored. Just my 2 cents. Thank you HPA, syslinux is always an excellent program. You added so many new features, thanks again. -- Steven Shiau
I am not an expert but I believe that when you use the following: label local MENU PASSWD you are specifing a blank password. Try this: label local MENU PASSWD $4$x$03NXHMe7QS0Ukxlkyh684LkWdqY$>>> Steven Shiau <steven at nchc.org.tw> 9/8/2005 7:51 AM >>>Hi, I am trying the simple menu passswd in syslinux 3.11, and it seems that if I set the timeout option, the menu passwd is ignored.

Hi, Thanks. I already put a MENU MASTER PASSWD $4$x$03NXHMe7QS0Ukxlkyh684LkWdqY$ before all the labels. So the "MENU PASSWD" will use the master password, as the README.menu says " If passwd is an empty string, this menu entry can only be unlocked with the master password." Thanks. Steven.
