Hi I have been trying to generate a script which will generate the md5 hash for a string taken as input from the command line . For that , I used /sbin/grub-md5crypt , and used it as follows -> ****************************
#!/bin/sh # File name -> md5.sh # This script will generate the md5 password for the string entered on the command line # for use as the boot-loader password # # initialize a few variables # echo $1 /sbin/grub --batch --device-map=/dev/null <<EOF \ | grep "^Encrypted: " | sed 's/^Encrypted: //' md5crypt $1 **************************** The problem is that I get the correct password , but if I re-direct it to a file , GRUB does not authenticate using that password i.e. $ ./md5.sh karan >> /boot/grub/grub.comf And then I paste the password in the desired location. Could you please help ? Karan _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
