I have some machines running Ubuntu that have a root user on them setup by
my web host. I'd like to disable the root user.
I tried:
user { 'root':
ensure => absent,
}
But got the error message:
err: /Stage[main]/Users/User[root]/ensure: change from present to absent
failed: Could not delete user root: Execution of '/usr/sbin/userdel root'
returned 8: userdel: user root is currently logged in
However, I don't believe the root user is logged in. Is it not possible to
delete the root user? Is there something else I should do such as
disabling its password?
Thanks,
Ben
