Re: [cobalt-users] different root and admin password?



But you can have separate passwords for the two. This must be done through
telnet. Then you simply change the passwords in telnet and on in the GUI.
Like mentioned, when you do it in the GUI it changes the password for both
users. I've done this before on my raq to... to the frustration of my
assistant admin who isn't savvy in the telnet...

I think the point being made was that, as you just pointed out, "admin" can just go back into the GUI, change that password and will again have password access as "root". :-) So doing different passwords is possible but it's not really a "block" against an admin getting root privileges. It's a good point.
