Fedora users should use a regular user account for regular day to day
|
|
|
|
|
activities and a root account only for system administration. Use the
|
|
|
|
|
personal account you created following the installation process, at
|
|
|
|
|
first boot, for daily use. Use the root account only for administration
|
|
|
|
|
of your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run as root use the or commands. Avoid using root for any
|
|
|
|
|
non-administration usage, since the root account makes it easy to create
|
|
|
|
|
security or data risks. If you frequently use a single user desktop, you
|
|
|
|
|
may find it convenient to configure so you can use the same password to
|
|
|
|
|
access root as you use for your regular account. To do this, select to
|
|
|
|
|
be added to the Administration group during installation. To do it
|
|
|
|
|
later, or to add a different user, follow this procedure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Become the root user using the command. Enter the password for the
|
|
|
|
|
root account when prompted.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
su -
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
2. Run this command, using your user account name in the place of
|
|
|
|
|
"sampleusername":
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
usermod sampleusername -a -G wheel
|
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
You must now log off and back on in order to have access to the wheel
|
|
|
|
|
group. Note that when prompts you for a password, it expects your user
|
|
|
|
|
password, not root's.
