Root access through XMnager
Posted 12-28-2010 at 10:48 PM by jezeer
I am using RHEL 5, and I have configured VNCServer & Xmanager. I can able to login through XManager using other user names but not from root. How can i grant access to root ?

You get more responses on the Forums, not the blogs.
Either way, you have to allow root logins through SSH on the Linux PC.
This is NOT recommended. Especially since it appears it may also run an xserver as root. Never do this.
Even logging into a non privileged user then using 'su' to gain root commands in an xterm would be questionable.
If you 'must' perform root commands on your Linux machine from windows or another OS, I would recommend using a regular terminal based SSH login with a non privileged user, then use 'su' to obtain root privileges.
If you are on windows, this would be Putty. The command on Linux is simply 'ssh user@host -p port'Posted 12-29-2010 at 12:32 PM by lumak
