Description of problem:
<quote from the docs>
4.2.2.1. Password Protecting GRUB

Finally, remember that the /boot/grub/grub.conf  file is world-readable by
default. It is a good idea to change this, as it has no affect on the
functionality of GRUB, by typing the following command as root:

chmod 600  /boot/grub/grub.conf
</quote>


But grub.conf in RH 9 already has 600 permissions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhl-sg-en-9-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read rhl-sg-en
2.
3.

So it is!

Great news.

This is a new thing and a good thing.

I have corrected the posted an errata, fixed the source, and fixed the online HTML.
