One could actually just change the account name if they wished, along with the home directory. This leaves UID as 1001, which might be preferred for some cases. This has to be done as the root user, but there is nothing really wrong with using root, when needed. Anyway, I start to get "evangelical" when it comes to security, as I worked in the security sector for a little while, and saw first hand the silly things people do, because they do not understand the implications of not operating a computer responsibly. Then these same people claim they've been "hacked" when really,no, they were not. Theend result is that we start seeing ( best case ) BotNET's with the ability to take down whole large domains at a whim. Worse case, people or organizations have things stolen form them. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
