Hide Forgot
Description of problem: In section E 7.2. of the installation guide under password you are refered the the RHEL deployment guide workstation security section. This section does not exist in 6.2. The text as listed: password=<password> — Prevents a user who does not know the password from editing the entries for this menu option. Optionally, it is possible to specify an alternate menu configuration file after the password=<password> directive. In this case, GRUB restarts the second stage boot loader and uses the specified alternate configuration file to build the menu. If an alternate menu configuration file is left out of the command, a user who knows the password is allowed to edit the current configuration file. For more information about securing GRUB, refer to the chapter titled Workstation Security in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide.
Thanks for pointing this out, Erinn. I've verified that the Workstation Security section was moved to the Security Guide. I've edited appendix E7.2 to reflect this.
This bug is now fixed and available as part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 release on http://docs.redhat.com/. Setting to CLOSED > CURRENTRELEASE.
