hello,
I know there have been some security concerns with flatpak, which are
too high level for me to understand, but I want to ask, is it normal
for flatpak to ask for the root password when installing a new package?
Are these packages not supposed to be sandboxed?

As you're the only user and not in a hurry, use sqlite
(also install sqlitebrowser that eases sqlite DBs exploration).
Search on the web how to pour data from your flat f
data to be in text format. Since some times, I do
sed/grep/awk the data myself. Also, this helps me to edit the data file
directly using editors such as vim.

If you're talking about logging in as user, then running an X client as
root, all you have to do is (in an xterm)
$xhost +localhost
$su -
#X_client_you_want_to_run_as_root
How can I make it so that I can run the X Server using another user account?

Howdy,
I'm setting up a number Linux servers in our lab. All servers
will be connected through the serial port to a console master.
Unfortunately it turns out the Debian installation (testing) refuses
root login on the serial console because PAM consideres it "not secure" >-(.

Hi,
it is a bad habit to acces your system as root via telnet, but if you
really want to:
add a line like this to /etc/securetty:
pts/0
pts/1
These are the terminals which allows root login, so this will enable root
login on two connections.
Better use ssh and Putty if you are working from a win
intanance. I know this is

Don't.
Certainly not through telnet. I'd ***STRONGLY*** suggest you remove
the telnet daemon from your system.
Install ssh. root access is denied by default, but it
This should be obvious, but I have not been able to find it myself...
I would like to access my system (all local) as root directly. Now I
telnet as ordinary user and su to root for maintanance. I know this is
considered 'bad practice', but I would like to be able to do this
anyway.
Thanks a lot!
I need to use rdist to sync some system files from one machine to
another. I am unable to access the second machine as root. I have made
a .rhosts in the second machines /root dir and tried to put

Hello:
Is there some way to restrict root access to the physical terminal
connected to my machine? I recently had a server rooted and I'm starting
from scratch with serious security in mind. If I did restrict root access
as above, would that successfully thwart root exploits?

Anyway 'chsh' is for admin use, not editing directly /etc/passwd, doing
that is a bad practice (i do too as always i think but that dont mean it's ok).

Many thanks to those who emailed me help.
In the end (after perusing the list archives), I figured out that
there's many more parameters that can follow 'rescue' when booting from
the CDROM. In particular, I found that
rescue root=/dev/hda1 single

I prefer booting with a lilo option like init=/bin/sh, remounting the root
partition read-write and edit again...
Or perhaps you got sudo installed and configed?? That'll be the easiest

Very easy if you have physical access to the machine:
Reboot, hold the Shift key while LILO is booting, enter the default
booting image name (e.g. Linux) and append
init=/bin/bash
I've logged out
from the only session where I had root access. So I can't get root
access. Is there a way to login as root, and specify the shell to run?
Or any other way to copy/link a shell to /bin/tcsh ? Or to edit the
/etc/passwd file? Or to copy the /etc/passwd~ file to /etc/passwd?

Your ability to kill a pppd you started has nothing to do with group
membership. Pppd knows who started it and will obey a kill from that user.
