Hi all,
how do I log in as root from the standard X login on MDK9.1.
The users are iconised so there's now way of entering the user ar root
as you use to be able to on previous versions.
I need to set up xcdroast which has to be done as root..
TIA
Richard

Richard,
Go to a console, and su to root, and type xcdroast, and enter. Xcdroast will
start, then there's a box where you can add users, and select to allow user
permissions.

Hi James,
the security level is standard and carnt go lower in MCC.
The security permissions is level 2.
Just did a telnet from another box and it hasnt timed out where the dumb
terminal has, looks like its a agetty thing.
Tried
S1:345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -t 28800 9600 ttyS1
but that didn't
hi gary
okay its a global setting since it affects both root
and others. what is your security setting? how about
trying to lower the security level just to test
whether this also happens.
im running out of ideas ... its already draining my
1/8 brain =P
cheers

Someone had mentioned once that the highest setting in msec actually has
a login timeout. Backing off the highest level or changeing the setting
in /etc/msec should help.

(My cure for msec problems is a bit more drastic... rpm -e msec *grin*)

hi gary
not sure what is really happening on your system. i
dont have a serial dumb terminal to simulate it. but
maybe i can help you troubleshoot whats causing it.
and i think it has nothing to do with agetty since you
already passed stage after you logged in. the problem
could be some
Hi Dianne,
logging out happens for root and other users.
Leaving it at a login prompt and not logging in, it recycles the login
prompt with another.
So if you login and do nothing it logs out after a 15 minutes.
This behavior did not happen in 8.2, its only in 9.

Hi all,
I use a dumb terminal to login and run a menu script as root.
After a short period of no activity the session is automatically logged
out.
How can I stop this or increase the time before auto logout?
Thanks
Gary.

Go to
From info page for bash
`TMOUT'
If set to a value greater than zero, the value is interpreted as
the number of seconds to wait for input after issuing the primary
prompt when the shell is interactive. Bash terminates after that
number of seconds if input does not arrive.
hi gary
check out an environment variable TMOUT from your
system's /etc/profile or your own profile ~/.profile.
its the one that controls logging out when there was
no activity for a period of time.
man bash to know more about it.

Hi Dianne,
I have checked checked bash --verbose and TMOUT=0
The timeout only happens on the dumb terminal plugged in via a serial
port and not on the console.
Have tried adding a long timeout on the agetty command line in inattab
with no luck.
What else can I try?
Thanks
Gary.
