Hello
Quick question. In order to beef-up security I changed the root password to something different from the admin password. I did this in an ssh shell.
Now, I know that the interface will make BOTH the admin and root the same if you change it there (which is why I used the command line). BUT I am wondering is there some reason raq4 does this?
Am I screwing up doing this? Will it accept changes through the GUI correctly? I find it hard to believe the GUI can operate properly WITHOUT the ability to root.
Anyone know for sure?
Mike
