md5crypt does not appear to be functioning with grub: grub>md5crypt Error 27: Unrecognized command
Hi! Please see 'info grub' specifically the node "Invoking grub-md5-crypt." Alternatively you could read the grub manual located at www.gnu.org. When in the grub shell, please type 'help' before proceeding. The correct command is 'password --md5 PASSWRD [FILE]'. From the sh command line use 'grub-md5-crpyt --help' for enlightenment :) Hope that helps, if not reopen this bug, tod
Thank you for the input. I hadn't read far enough into the grub info file for the standard sh command. I guess what I was referring to was the grub internal command-line md5crypt command. In the grub info file under 'The list of command-line and menu-entry commands" there is a listing for 'md5crypt', which, to me, implies that there should be an internal grub command. Also, the command that you suggest produces no output. I just check bug-grub@gnu.org and came up with this: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg05212.html which is a suggested patch for grub. The next message in the bug-grub archive states that the patch has been applied to CVS. I'm very sorry for troubling you, Sean Bobb
No trouble :) I guess it should be there, but isn't because of an upstream bug. Hopefully, they will make a new release soon :). If not we may apply the patch that was put in the grub CVS. Thanks for the info!
