2. Give root permission
Method One: Modify the/etc/sudoers file, find the line below, and remove the previous comment (#)
# # allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel all= (All)
The user is then modified to belong to the root group (wheel), and the command is as follows:
#usermod-G root Tommy
Now you can log in with the Tommy account and then use the commandSu-, you can get root permission to operate.
Method Two: Modify the/etc/sudoers file, find the following line, and add a row under Root, as follows:
# # Allow ROOT to run any commands anywhere
Root all= (All)
Tommy All= (All)
After the modification, you can now log in with the Tommy account and then use the command Su-to get the root permission to operate.
Method Three: Modify the/etc/passwd file, find the following line, modify the user ID to 0, as follows:
Tommy:x:500:500:tommy:/home/tommy:/bin/bash
After the modification as follows
Tommy:x:0:500:tommy:/home/tommy:/bin/bash
Save, with the Tommy account login, the direct access is the root account permissions.
Friendship Reminder: Although method three looks simple and convenient, but generally do not recommend use, recommended use of method two.
