How to become root

I need to add an entry to my /etc/hosts file. What procedure should I follow to do this?

You definitely don't need to enable the root user account. Just use the Terminal commands preceeding them with sudo.

  • How to become root user on NSS6100 ?

    Hi,
    I'm using a NSS6100.
    It was before attached to an AD2000.
    I recently attached the NSS6100 to our AD2008.
    Now, I can see the users/groups from the AD, but all the files/dir presents on NSS6100 lost their user/groups rights.
    Even I changed the rights on Shares menu from http interface, I can't move/rename/delete the files.
    Is there a way to become root user ?
    My NSS6100 user I created is nasusers groups and normally have admin rights, but I can't change any rights via FTP connection.
    Thank's.
    Regards.

    Hi Jason,
    thank's for you reply.
    I found a kind of way to delete the files I want to delete, using a NFS mount and access to NSS6100 from our Linux or SCO box.
    I can't change the rights on file, but I can download the files, delete from NSS6100, and upload again to NSS6100, so the rights change to my user.
    It's not a simple way!
    Regards.

  • How to retrieve root passwd on Mac OS X 10.7.4

    HI
    I am trying to "chown" a directory and it's files but I recieve operation not permitted. I believe I need to become root "su - root" to performe chown.
    My question is how do I retrieve root password?
    Thanks

    By default, the root user is not enabled. Its password does not exist until you enable the root user and specify one.
    Why do you need to change ownership of a directory? This should not be necessary, and is likely to cause problems. Whatever you want to do can almost certainly be performed more safely another way.

  • How to enable root user in Yosemite

    I see in SEARCH how to enable root user in LION but not Yosemite. Does anyone know how? The sys prefs button choices is different so can't find out how to do.

    Do a backup before doing anything. To delete them you will need to enable the Root User and log in as the Root User. You need to be very careful while logged in as the Root User because you can delete any file and could potentially ruin your system. As soon as the non-functioning applications are deleted, log out and use your normal account. Did I mention doing a backup?

  • To break out of a non-global zone and become root user in the global zone

    Hi folks
    "to break out of a non-global zone and become root user in the global zone through a kernel bug exploit"
    Is this possible and has SUN allready a fix/workaround/patch for that?
    Cheers

    Is it possible there's a bug in the kernel? Sure.
    Someone would need to find and identify such a bug before it could be fixed. I've not heard of the discovery of a bug like this. You could check the bug database at www.opensolaris.org.

  • How to become a java master-hand?

    How to become a java master-hand?

    Excerpt from: The Touch of the Master's Hand by Myra Brooks Welch
    "A thousand dollars, and who'll make it two?
    Two thousand! And who'll make it three?
    Three thousand, once; three thousand, twice;
    and going, and gone!" said he.
    The people cheered, but some of them cried,
    "We do not quite understand
    What changed its worth?" Swift came the reply:
    "The touch of the masters hand."
    But the Master comes, and the foolish crowd
    never can quite understand
    The worth of a soul, and the change that's wrought
    by the touch of the Master's hand.

  • How to become ready for SOA as a basis administrator?

    Seems SOA is overwhelming.
    I am in a big SAP implementation project and on the wall I see many SOA charts.
    However, my daily work NEVER  has anything to do with SOA.
    How to become ready for SOA as a basis administrator?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Read all what is available about SOA on SDN. This is the best to do now.
    You can also practice the configuration of a SAP Netweaver system as a producer or consumer of web services.

  • How To Change Root Folder Reference for href - anythingslider links?

    How To Change Root Folder reference for href - anythingslider links?
    My root folder in Web Apps>Carousel in admin is set at /carousel/ (http://bestinscotland04.businesscatalyst.com/carousel/slide-2 - as an example) but I want it to link to a specific page at the root level (specifically /scottish-menswear/mens-highland-kilt-outfit).
    I can't find the controls, css, or html file to enable my picture to link to this product page.
    I'm sorry for the amateur question - I've never had formal training and it's always a reverse-engineering situation with me.
    Thank you.

    One way to address this is to use the Virtual Web Host feature.
    I've uploaded a simple application note to help guide you through the steps.
    An alternative would be to create an html at /Web/ which forwards to /Web/Joomla.  Not a great solution, I know.
    I'm sure there is a way to change the setting in a linux configuration file, but I don't know which file that is in.  Maybe some other linux savy community members could help out with that?
