Errrrr... no
Ok. So you want to take advantage of a feature that would lead to an even more massive security hole (ie. root)? Seeing as sudo is crippled, I suggest using TinkerTool like the other comments suggest.
Errrrr... no
Root is a security hole!? LOL. Some of the Mac OS 9 users on here are quite funny.

Firstly, I have been running OS X prior to its public release, so this is no OS 9 user talk. Secondly, root is not a security hole per se, but when combined with a user who likens it to Mac OS 9's single user mode (ie. the ONLY usage mode), it could be (and would be) destructive. The user in combination with root is a security and file system integrity issue. That's exactly why root is disabled by default. Also, assuming that BSD's various known security issues haven't been brought over to Darwin is just plain naive.

I agree with everything you've said there. In particular, the part of your post that said 'root is not a security hole'. Cheers. |
