hi all,
I have a couple of query's which (till now) I have failed to answer/solve.
1) How do I log in directly as root ? Is there some place where I can
give the password for root so I dont have to login every time I start my
system. I know knoppix does it... but I dunno how. Please tell me how to
do this using /etc/pam.d
2) I am also working on a live cd and I want the kernel messeges removed
at startup (the ones which dmesg eventually gets). Is it possible ?
thanks
nasir

Since security is really not an issue here, editing the /etc/passwd (if shadow passwords are not enabled) and /etc/shadow (if they are), and deleteing the encrypted portion removes the password for root. Logging in automatically is quite simple after that , changing in /etc/inittab :- 1:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/openvt -f -c 1 -w -- /bin/login -f root that logs. in root in tty1. As for the silent boot, thanks for the link mike. I'll check it out. thanks - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
