Re: grub-md5-crypt question

[Karan Saberwal]

Hi Jeff

I was able to work out another solution for that as follows through a shell
script which takes the string from the command line:

/**************************\
/sbin/grub --batch --device-map=/dev/null <<EOF \

grep "^Encrypted: " | sed 's/^Encrypted: //'

md5crypt

$1

quit

EOF

/**************************\

All the same, thanks for your suggestion; I will try it too.

Regards,
Karan Saberwal
