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.
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.
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.
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
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.
