Another Root access issue...
Hi all,
I have some problems while trying to gain root access in DLS. I made an HD install, so my old notebook is completely running with that wonderful OS. The problems is not what you're thinking: is not that I can't access as root... but that I can access as root WHITOUT password, as every sudo command is executed with no root password request. I changed the root password with "passwd", then created a new user account on the machine called "davide". Then I connected to the "davide" user on the DSL machine with an ssh connection from another notebook I have in my house... then I typed Code:
sudo shutdown -h now Did I missed some setup? Thanks, Davide. |
AFAIK, when you install DSL to your HD, after the first reboot it will ask for a root password.

Hello repo,

I also created a new user with the "adduser" command, but nothing changed (I thought maybe the "dsl" user had some privilege). The clue is that when I type Code:
davide@tty1[davide]$ su root Code:
davide@tty1[davide]$ sudo command |
AFAIK
As Far As I Know Seems to be the way DSL works From the Getting started guide: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/getting_started.html Quote:

It simply seems to be the way every GNU/Linux system works... doesn't tell anything on root password...
