Hi all As part of the fix process for our mail system, I need to log into our machine as “root” I always thought that once at the log-in screen, you could simply use “Root” as the user ID, and “root” as the password. Apparently, this isn’t the case any longer; although our old Snow Leopard machine does let me in that way.
How, then, does one enable root access? This is something I need to do urgently, so a rapid response, possibly, off list, would be very much appreciated. I’m clearly a little ring-rusty when it comes to my Unix/Linux skills, something I’n really going to have to brush up on. Thanks.
