[syslinux] pxe password protect option

[Jerry Nelson]

I tried this again with pxelinux.0 version 3.31 & 3.36 and I
Do have "MENU PASSWD" after the LABEL's I'm testing.

Every time, prompt or no prompt, timeout or no timeout, this boots
straight into the kernel and never prompts me for a password?

IS there anything else I can do or test? - the -vv options for DHCP
Doesn't really help me debug anything.

Thanks HPA

WorksForMe[TM].

Keep in mind MENU MASTER PASSWD doesn't prevent you from booting labels
that don't have MENU PASSWD, and dosn't prevent the default item to be
selected on timeout.
