No you don't.

If you did, you would destroy your system.

What are your specific goals? There is almost certainly a safer solution, one involving the principal of least privilege mentioned above.

this is redhat
so you DID buy the REQUIRED support contract ? right ?
this gets you access to the redhat knowledge base

you ARE paying for that access , you might want to use it seeing as you already paid $$$ for it .


you use "su" and "su -" ( the short form of "su -root ") to become root in the terminal

Giving out the root password to more than 3 people is just asking for major security failures (been there seen that, and recovery can take years).

one can always set up "sudo"

rhel dose not set this up by default
