paswword for menu items

Hello,

I use grub to choose between Debian Linux and Windows XP. No problems at
all. But I don't want anybody to just use Windows (there are security
issues), so is it possible to protect that menu entry with a password?

Regards
Alle Meije Wink

My devices.map and menu.lst look like this:

wink:/boot/grub$ cat device.map

(fd0)   /dev/fd0
(hd0)   /dev/hdb
(hd1)   /dev/hda # added manually

wink:/boot/grub$ cat menu.lst

default=linux
timeout=10
color=light-gray/black light-gray/blue

# section to load linux

        title Debian Linux-2.4.20
        root (hd0,4)
        kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.20 ro mem=nopentium hdc=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi
# section to load windows

        title Windows XP Home Edition
        map (hd0) (hd1)
        map (hd1) (hd0)
        rootnoverify (hd1,0)
        chainloader +1
