Bug Description

On this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/console-security.html
In this section: GRUB Password Security

The bit about adding md5 password to grub menu it says:
- - -
Add the resulting hash value to the file /etc/grub/menu.lst in the following format:

password --md5 $1$s3YiK$M3lxAbqA6JLm2FbDWnClQ0
- - -
Shouldn't the path be '/boot/grub/menu.lst' rather than '/etc/grub/menu.lst' ?
Thanks, Ed
