How to Change the Values of the PROM (EEPROM)

For security purposes, you might want to password protect your Open Boot Prom (OBP). This will prevent unauthorized changes of your prom settings.

#eeprom (gives you a default listing)
e.g.
#eeprom security=command
enter new prom password (it prompts you for a new password)

To remove the OBP password
#eeprom security=noneopen
