Hi:

I was looking in /boot/loader.rc and found these lines:

\ Tests for password -- executes autoboot first if a password was defined check-password

OK, great, so: How do I set this password? What does it protect? Didn't find documentation in loader(8) and no man-page for loader.rc.

Thanks, Erik
