Bug ID: 1406150
Summary: Setting grub boot loader password is out of date.
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: system-administrator's-guide
Severity: low
Assignee: swadeley(a)redhat.com

Description of problem:
The information on setting a superuser and password for grub2 is out of date in
the System Administrators Guide, as it does not take into account the
predefined 'root' superuser. All that a user needs to do to enable this
superuser is to execute the grub2-setpassword utility, which will prompt the
user for a password. An encrypted password will be placed in the
/boot/grub2/user.cfg file, which only the system's 'root' account can access.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 25 (possibly earlier also).
