Re: [cobalt-developers] Diffrent Password



hi there,
basically yes - simple :-)

"su" and then simply use the command "passwd" enter your new
root password (su makes you root btw) twice and you're done.

but - if you change the admin-password via the webinterface, this
also resets your root-passwd, I guess it should be possible to hack
the script to disable this function, but you might then be lost on
the other hand if you once forget your root-pwd.

also using SSH as your shell instead of telnet should be highly recommended.
