Bonjour, For some unknown reason I did not activate the root account during the installation. I activated it from a user account, say John Doe.
Now John Doe can become root anytime and do anything on my machine. How can I deactivate this? I have seen that John Doe is a member of almost all groups in /etc/group and /etc/gshadow... Is there a simple method to remove John Doe from these files and are there other files to modify? I asked a question about this inconvenience of the sudo way to activate root account: lightdm accepts to login root for a graphical session, I found a method to forbid this: add this line in /etc/pam.d/ligthdm: auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet I don't understand this "fashion": sudo and no root account.... It is the same under ubuntu. What for?
