Our company admin gave me a VM that i used to play with but didnt give me permissions to do any changes to it. I have sudoers so i can change settings via CLI but cant change them through the GUI, since you cant sudoers after logging in there. The VM is set to autorun on host startup so if there is an outage that VM loads up first and "steals" my IP (lol im too lazy to edit the settings anymore on the old box). So i have to login and init 0 that thing before people can access the real server and not the old thing.
I guess i could ask for their help in changing permissions but tinkering around and learning things is so much funner; On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 6:05 PM, Michael Mondragon < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Rommel, > > I'm wondering why you want to try to change this in particular.
