Password at startup
« on: February 03, 2010, 04:21:52 AM »
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.

Bootcode "noautologin"

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.

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  :)
