Hi, thanks for the replies.
- -> What do you mean exactly with "root used to log in automatically on
bootup."
?
I didn't get a login prompt - it logged me in as root first thing after booting.
- -> I removed the responsible entry from /etc/inittab.
Which one?
this one: 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login root </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1
- -> What do you mean with "the root login" ?
After the system boot finishes, I can login into tty1 (e.g.) as root without
supplying the password. However, when I need to become root when being logged in
as a "normal" user (using su), this requires a password.
any ideas?
