Hello dear maintainers,
I have got a Debian-DVD at the Cebit in Hannover. Installing went fine, but it
does not ask, what password root should have. However, I saw that there
already a password for root exists. What is it ? Can you please tell me ?
Yes, I could delete the password using a lifefilesystem like Knoppix in
the /etc/shadow.
Or is this a bug ?
Don't have a clue, but I'd try "sudo passwd root" and see what happens.
I am using Kunbuntu, which is like ubuntu, which doesn't allow root
logins directly. If you want to use commands using 'root' permissions
you can ether use
$ sudo <command>
or you can use
$ sudo su -
in each cash it will ask for the user password before letting the
command execute.
Regards Neil.
