Boot partition can not be encrypted.



I read somewhere this is good solution:



create a script to sum checksums of files and warning me in changed case



But I don't know where I can start.



Can you give me some hint?

  • No, it doesn't provide security - it provides a notification if something changed. But it doesn't stop changes. I've also seen /boot mounted as read-only, or even unmounted after the system is up and running....

  • Can user acces to boot partition or there is just root which can do it? Wait, so can I have boot partition on USB, plug USB into PC, run system and unplug the USB?
