If I remove the 'password=3D"test"' from loader.conf, everything works a= gain. So it does seem to be that when we go through the sys/boot/forth/check-password.4th code path that the environment for autobo= ot is subtly different. b. Regarding problem 2, I also noticed that the /boot directory and loader.= conf are world-readable by default, which leaks the boot password in plain text = to any user on the system. Should I raise a separate issue for that? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
