Man, I feel like a baby asking this. Normally I would find an answer easily on the Googles, but this one eludes me. I'm trying out Centos 6.3 as a webserver so I'm starting out with the minimal install and building it up into a Rails server. I believe the only user is root and I'm logged in, but I'm sure there is a utility in the CLI to create a new user and endow it with the right admin privileges.
All I'm seeing is something to install some OpenVZ whatever that is. I'm trying to get more comfortable with the CLI, eschewing the GUI. In normal UNIX it's preferable to deactivate the root user, opting for sudo once that new user is large and in charge. Would that be good practice for a Rails server? I want to understand what all is needed before I try something like Puppet or another utility to automate server setup. What's a good up-to-date resource for server setup on Centos?, sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
