Ubuntu uses sudo. I also use it in my Debian box. Basically most unices have a "wheel" group. You can add your account to that group and then run the "visudo" to leave /etc/sudoers with a line like this one: %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Or this (if you want your account's (not root) password to be asked for every time you want to run commands like root: %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL Tipically you'll just have tu remove the # to uncomment the proper line and you'll be done. I used the "passwd -l" trick a few moments ago and efectively disabled my root account. Then I did this: $ sudo su - # passwd -u root Pssword changed. # passwd root Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully Now my root account is restored. It's kind of easy, really. Regards, Antonio Ognio Lima-Peru. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
