10.5: Enable the root user
Not a good idea. Even in the unix/linux world is rarely a good idea to log in as root when you don't have to. Many of the linux admin I know are using "sudo su -" to elevate to root. In the Mac world, it's rarely, if ever, required to actually be the root user.
10.5: Enable the root user
I'll accept your challenge... I have an empty admin password and 10.5 will not allow me to use sudo with an empty password, so therefore using the root account is the only way I can do administrative tasks!
Please don't lecture me about empty passwords. See my thread here for my reasons... http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?p=419428&posted=1#post419428
10.5: Enable the root user
Oh, I know this is massively past now, but I spend all day working in SSH onto dozens of customer machines, and we make extensive use of the root user. |
