http://forums.cpanel.net – Hello, I want to create a second root user for WHM, the only difference between root and second root user is second root unable to change root's password. This is my shell command: Code: useradd -u 0  -o  -g root  -G root -d /home/root2 root2 root@localhost [~]# id root2 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) But when I use this account to login to WHM, it says 'Invalid login', I want to know why and how to fix that? (HowTos)

Hello,

Does anyone have any idea regarding what could be the problem here, i.e. why do I get "Permission denied"?

Code: [andreas@loony /tmp]$ ls -al total 40 drwxrwxrwt  4 root root  4096 Jul 14 10:28 . drwxr-xr-x 28 root root  4096 May 18 10:55 .. -rw-r--r--  1 root root  1696 Dec 17  2009 bar

I just installed Lubuntu as a user. It didn't ask me anything during the install about root, or what root password I would like. So now, when I need root to change /etc/fstab or /etc/rc.local, I can't. When I try to set up root admin in Users Accounts, it says there already is a root. Nobody said nothing to ME about setting up a root account.

I've having some very weird issues with my MySQL (5.5) root user. I'm trying to allow an external host to access the root user, but it seems as though my root@localhost does not have "GRANT OPTION" to the local databases!

In fact, I'm continuing a closed topic, which can be found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12175678

Code: pei@pei-GA-870A-UD3:/dev$ ls -l sd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  0 Aug 15 17:57 sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  1 Aug 15 17:55 sda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  2 Aug 15 17:57 sda2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  5 Aug 15 17:55 sda5 brw-rw

I have recently moved to an Arch-form of distro and noticed both it and Arch itself have moved to a new root structure.

The common one I am used to looks like:

Code: drwxr-xr-x  1 root root  4096 03.06.2013 15:51 bin/ drwxr-xr-x  7 root root  4096 16.06.2013 19:26 boot/ drwxr-xr-x  19 root root  3420 15.06.2013 14:49 dev/ drwxr-xr-x  87 root root  4096

[xubuntu] No more room in /boot 16 weeks 13 hours ago

Hi, New to Linux, I run the update-manager, and get the message that there's no more room in /boot. This is interesting, as I do recall having to update the kernel 'back in the day', but haven't done so this time. Anyway ..

How might I use script /usr/bin/su-to-root after I have intentionally locked the root account?

Running Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 "squeeze" and noticed menu item "System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager" has default command:

su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic

which fails even though I provide the correct root password.
