this does not work?????
when I remaster I still don't have to give a password
Hmm, I did it just the other day to set a root password for the parallelknoppix remaster. Can you describe what you're doing in more detail. I'm talking about remastering after having copied the source to HD, and doing a chroot from my normal Debian installation. I'm not familiar with the other methods.
I found a sollution. I just disable su and sudo. with a startup script so the users of my kiosk can no tgo in te root
but thanks for the effort mcreel
I have the same problem:
Whatever I do, I dont need a password to be root; I only need to type "su".
I tried:
chmod 0 su
but it blocks at start
or
I tried to disable knoppix in /etc/sudoers
but then some applications doesn't work because they need root.
I found a half-solution:
I modified /etc/profile. Icommented this line (the last one in the file):
#alias su="sudo su"
Now if I type "su", I need a password.
But if I type "sudo su", I don't need it anymore.
>> I tried to disable knoppix in /etc/sudoers
use that file to define what you want "knoppix" to have access to . (man sudo )
