How to enable root user in Ubuntu
The
root user in Ubuntu is disabled by default because his password is
not set. But if you'd like to use root user by some reason, enable it
like follows.
1)
Set root password
Enter new UNIX password: # set root password
Retype new UNIX password: # confirm
passwd: password updated successfully
sysstec@ubuntu:~$ su -
Password: # root password
root@ubuntu:~# # just switched
The
examples on this site show as a root user from now. If you use sudo,
add "sudo" at the head of commands.
2)
If you enable root, limit users to switch to root.
root@ubuntu:~#
vi
/etc/pam.d/su # line 15: uncomment and add a group that can
switch to root
auth required pam_wheel.so group=adm
root@ubuntu:~#
usermod
-G adm dmacsolutions
