This code was written long ago, I don't think anyone remembers the reason. Grub-legacy won't be changed anymore, so there it'll never change. For grub2 password support isn't yet implemented so I don't know if it'll have such a limit. -- Felix Zielcke _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
