Re: [cobalt-users] needing to reset root passwd

["Torsten Ewald" <te@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gavin,
any Idea, where to get this package ? We are an ISP too and we host several
RaQs of oour customer. Unfortunately most of them get the Admin PW for
maintenance. We want to restricte acces for them to the root User by setting
a PW for root, which won't change when changing the PW for admin in the UI.

Regards
Torsten
