Ubuntu Linux – Root Account 17 September 2006
Posted by Maulvi Bakar in : Home,Linux , trackbackI like Ubuntu Linux, always have. Nice features, fairly comprehensive repositories for softwares. The only thing that bugs the hell out of me is the non-existance of the root account. Anytime you want to do something, it’s sudo this, and sudo that…
Well, this is how I did it -
sudo passwd root
voila!
I can now either use su to change to root, or even login as root..
Enjoy!

quick note:
“sudo passwd”
should work equally well, since you’ll
be running passwd as root with sudo.
your blog’s an interesting read, keep it up, buddy!
