Password at startup

(1/1)

Magil:
Hello, im trying to get TCL to prompt me for a passord at startup. I tried chpasswd and made a password for tc and root, then i saved shadow and restarted. Now i dont get a password on prompt but my root passwd changed like it is supposed to. Can anyone tell me what i have to change to get a question for passwd at prompt? Thanks.

curaga:
Bootcode "noautologin"

saravanan:
Hi curaga,
can you please elaborate?
I guess it not a kernel parameter.
or where do we need to specify the "noautologin" ??

This explains it pretty well. They're not kernel parameters, but still entered in the same place.

Magil:
Thank you curaga!
For others who would like to do this, you must save your changed passwords by adding /etc/shadow to your filetool.lst, and then add the "noautologin" to your boot line.
Cheers  :)
