You cant disable it (how would you administer?), but I have heard that it's possible to rename it.
If you're worried about people logging in as root from outside, you can deny root logins through SSH. Then you'd have to login as a regular user and then su root (which you should be doing anyhow) ;-) Chisholm Wildermuth Systems Engineer dbWebNet, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. -----Original Message----- From: Khuzairi Yahaya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Disabling/Renaming Root ID I was asked to look into the possibility of Disabling or Renaming the Root ID. Should I be doing this? Is there any concerns? What should look into? Regards Kuzek
