Rob makes an excellent point that having NO password requirement for root access on a secured console is actually BETTER security. Aye ... there's the rub: on a secured console.
This is not the first time in recent weeks that Rob has suggested something counter intuitive. But he is right. It may be disallowed at your shop; it's certainly disallowed at mine. But his position is really well thought and holds up under scrutiny. It will take a while before the security people at most shops "get it". -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
