Re: [cobalt-developers] root access problem



Hi Shimi,

Set set things straight: first of all it was not Cobalt, but me - Taco Scargo - 
who released the pkg-s for the Cobalt appliances (and I am the one to blame).
Furthermore this is default behaviour for ssh. Just install any ssh rpm on a 
linux box. And I think it is the way it should be.  For some customers I created 
a pkg that detach admin and root accounts. This way the ISP can still login to 
the RaQ when they don't have the admin password.

With regards,
