And how to disable it again?
Dumb as I am :-) I enabled the root passwd because I didn't know I could have root privileges by using the SUDO command.
And how to disable it again?
Fire up netinfo and go to the domain menu. Mouse down to security and a little popup will open to the right, one of the options should be to disable root.
Still not quite disabled?
I unfortunately did the same thing and followed the tip from eagle_eyes, but it still does not seem quite right. If I start up terminal and try to edit a file such as crontab in pico without typing sudo, it does nothing to stop me. Typing: "cd /private/etc", then "pico crontab" it goes directly into the editor. What can I do to fix this and protect me from my own stupidity?
Still not quite disabled?
I think you'll find that you won't be able to write out to /etc/crontab using ^o... try cd /var/cron. That you won't be able to do without root permissions |
