I just checked in a trivial patch so that GRUB boots the default entry
immediately without displaying the menu if `timeout 0' appears in the
menu.lst.
If you want it to be secure, though, you still need to use the
`password' command, or else if your default OS fails to boot, people
will get access to the GRUB menu and command line, and be able to do
just about anything (ever try `cat (hd0,1)/etc/passwd'?).
I should probably add this scenario into the documentation, too, but
I'm not sure where to put it.
Have fun,
