Sometime I wonder…
So we have the SUDO command to keep everyone happy in Linux (Debian in this case) by not using ROOT – and on the Raspberry Pi that’s just fine – but every other board I’ve tested you seem to spend more time putting in the password.
Then I discovered this – http://askubuntu.com/questions/147241/execute-sudo-without-password
Sorted.
Just log in as root – like in the old days 🙂
no, don’t do it, it’s a security threat giving root a password… use what i said in my previous comment… times go on, update yourself…
For a personal development or embedded system I see no harm.
the correct way to do this is NOT using sudoers o giving root a password, but doing:
sudo -s -H
(lower s and upper h)
to open a shell and inherit the correct environment with its variables
it asks for a single password, then every command can be given without sudo or other passwords
sudo bash
works well for me.
If you have several commands to type in in sequence, the best is to use “sudo -s” to launch a shell.
Hmm, I forgot about that.
OK, then if your standard user account is compromised, the whole machine can be taken over without you even noticing it…
I won’t recommend this except for test purposes.
exactly…..
just go to root account via sudo 🙂 not hard to do.
