If the threat model includes actively malicious people at the console, I'd rather see encrypted file systems than a grub password. (And that doesn't help if you don't realize that a malicious person may have had access and that you shouldn't trust the system any more.) -- Fedora-security-list mailing list Fedora-security-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-security-list
