When a password is set, entries that are not marked as --unrestricted require
a password to be entered. This includes submenus : entering them is also
restricted.
However, setting --unrestricted to a submenu command also makes the
menuentries it contains bootable without password.
submenu "Unrestricted submenu" --unrestricted {
menuentry "Should be restricted but is not" {
normal
}
}
The [https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#submenu
documentation] is very terse, and it is not possible to infer this behaviour
from it, which I believe is a bug.
In addition, how can I specify a submenu entry to be restricted, without
restricting the submenu itself ?
