> Is it possible to ask for a password even when no root password is set? Maybe ask the password of uid=1000
No. We need a way that users can reset their lost password > I think this should be fixed for all users as its a security hole You need to do a lot more to create "local security"! * Change the boot order so that you can't boot from cdrom or usb. If not, i can boot your system with Knoppix and mount your disks. * Set a bios password so that you can't change the boot order * Set a root password so that you can't interrupt the boot process * Lock the case of your computer so that nobody can remove the harddisk from your computer and read it with another computer * Better: Lock your computer into "safe", so that users can only reach keyboard and mouse * Even better: Encrypt your file system You don't create local security merely by setting a root password. You need to do the whole shebang. -- friendly-recovery drops to a root shell even when a root password is set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220986 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
