Linux decompression & su Root

Decompress the/tmp/etc.tar.gz file under/usr/local/src [root @ Linux ~] # Cd/usr/local/src [root @ Linux SRC] # tar-zxvf/tmp/etc.tar.gz # by default, We can unbind the compression file anywhere! In this example, # first change the working directory to the/usr/local/src directory, and unlock/tmp/etc.tar.gz, # The unlocked directory will be in/usr/local/src/etc! In addition, if you enter/usr/local/src/etc #, you will find that the file attributes in this directory may be different from those in/etc!
 

After Ubuntu is installed, the root user is locked by default and cannot log on or "Su" to the root user. Some people say this is a bad practice, especially for servers. I think this is more secure for desktop users. But for servers, you can set it to "allow Su to root, but not allow root users to log on directly ". For the convenience of development, I use this method on both the desktop and server.

◆ Allow Su to root

It is very simple. The following is the setting method:

Me @ tipfoo :~ $ Sudo passwd

Password: <--- enter the password of the user during installation

Enter new Unix Password: <--- New Root User Password

Retype new Unix Password: <--- repeat the New Root User Password

Passwd: the password is successfully updated.

◆Allow Root Login

If you want to allow root logon (not recommended), perform the following operations:

Me @ tipfoo :~ $ Gksu/usr/sbin/gdmsetup

(Or use the desktop menu: system> System Management> logon window)

Click the "Security" option page and select "Allow Local Administrator Logon ".

Note: This step depends on the previous step.

◆ Directly log on without entering the password

Someone complained on the forum that Ubuntu in the House could not be logged on like window $ -- without a password. In fact, the same can be done:

On the "Security" option page in the previous step, select:

"Enable Automatic Logon" and "user" (for example, "me ");

Note: Do not set this for public computers!

◆ Log on to the remote server through SSH

If the remote server only allows the root user to SSH to the server, you must "Su to root" in Ubuntu to log on successfully (depending on the server configuration ).

First, copy the key to the "/root/. Ssh/" directory,

Me @ tipfoo :~ $ Su

Password:

Root @ tipfoo:/home/me # chmod 600-r/root/. Ssh/

Root @ tipfoo:/home/me # ssh-P 27482 11.22.33.44

Enter passphrase for key'/root/. Ssh/id_rsa ':

Sudo 'Vi '/etc/shadow can be used before setting a password for the root user. This should be a bug.
