Note that this does not actually affect F20 as described since Fedora switched to Grub2 in F16 (which uses a different mechanism for password protecting the bootloader). I'm working on fixes for both grub versions for sos-2.x and 3.x.
The grub1 case is now fixed upstream: commit 6501013bb780161e941f5e078a6ed7052f670a51 Author: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr> Date: Mon Jun 2 15:27:10 2014 +0100 Make sure grub password regex handles all cases commit 23182c4f13fbadc9b7c2ab75c1ca249d5ba987d1 Author: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr> Date: Mon Jun 2 14:55:03 2014 +0100 Elide bootloader password in grub plugin I'm working on equivalent changes for grub2 now (there's not much point pushing an update to Fedora releases until this is done); it's a bit more complex as the notion of passwords and users in grub2 is a lot more elaborate than previous releases.
Grub2 bits are now upstream: commit d335f4f09d033008cb6485d2cd8ca371a974d700 Author: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr> Date: Tue Jun 3 19:23:46 2014 +0100 Elide passwords in grub2 plugin Remove both plaintext and pbkdf2 passwords from grub configuration files and command output. Since grub does not mandate any particular location for its authentication data we have to apply these liberaly (to all grub*.cfg as well as to all /etc/grub.d fragments and the output of grub2-mkconfig). Signed-off-by: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr> Unfortunately this ends up being quite complex; grub2 has a notion of multiple users (with optional plaintext or pbkdf2 hashed passwords for each user) and these can be configured just about anywhere: in grub.cfg directly (manual edit), in an /etc/grub.d fragment or hacked into grub2-mkconfig itself. The plugin now applies the substitution to all grub*.cfg files as well as everything in /etc/grub.d and the command output. I've tested several different configurations here and this is passing all my tests but I'd appreciate more feedback from users with password-protected grub2 configurations.
Fixed in rawhide with update to sos-3.2-0.1.a.fc21: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/sos.git/log/ Fixed in f20 with rebase to sos-3.1 and backport of the grub patches. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/sos.git/commit/?h=f20
