General :: How To Invoke Wireless Without Root Password
Apr 3, 2010
Whenever I got to type the command below:
#iwconfig eth1 essid mynetwork key xxxxxxxx
#dhclient eth1
to use this command, i have to be in su or sudo. Is there a way I could allow all users to invoke these commands without the root password?? I try to make a file (wireless.sh), which consists the commands above, in /usr/local/bin/. Change the mode to 755 (chmod 755 wireless.sh) however, it does not allow me to use this also.

Adobe Air are not able to invoke the password dialog for installing apps in opensuse11.3 (i686) .. it waits for root password confirmation however there is no dialog window to input the password to. I've tried installing adobe air apps as both su and normal user, no mather what I do it's not envoking the password dialog..
I've also tried to install the gnome su library to see if it helps any but it don't...
I have also tried to reinstall Adobe Air using both the rpm installer and the binary installer from [URL], the binary installer won't even install.
I can get the use of the AIR apps I need ?
From AIR installation log [Adobe AIR Application Installer:12808][INFO] Waiting for user confirmation
Edit: By the way, I've also tried the normal troubleshooting such as removing the crypt cataloge, removing cache and etc..

I am an absolute Linux Beginner who is being required to do a bit of admin work because the boss just fired the old linux admin. Unfortunately, one of our employees cannot remember her password to her email account and as such I need to reset it on our linux server.What I want to check is that this email account is actually a linux user account and I simply will reset the password for it using the passwd command from the root login. Is that correct?

I was trying to edit a file requiring root permissions, so I used sudo. I typed the root password and it failed. This happened three times, and the process was ended. I then logged in as root (su) and was able to navigate to the file and make changes as root. Am I missing something? How would I edit the sudoers file such that this password would work? Or is there another way to log in to the sudo group to make these changes? How do I set sudo passwords?

When I installed the OS, I wasn't prompted to set the root password. Is this a bug, or did my install hose up?

I am trying to log into a server with a particular account. Let's say I don't know the password for that account. Can I do this using ssh? I am wondering if it is possible to do it in one command, instead of logging in as root and running su.

Yesterday I re-installed Musix over top of another installation of Musix using the keep files option.I did this because after it froze last night it would boot up properly.I got that problem fixed and I still have all of my files and settings but I am having one problem now:root has a password and I can't guess what it is.

When I run sudo as a normal unprivileged user, it asks for my password, not the root password. That's often convenient, but it reduces the amount of information someone would have to have in order to run commands as root. So how can I make sudo ask for the root password instead of the invoking user's password? I know it'd be done with a line in /etc/sudoers, but I can never seem to properly parse the BNF grammar in the man page to figure out exactly what to write.

I'm using rhel 5, when i'm working in terminal first i typed su command and by mistake i entered copy command and some other characters, after realising i've made a mistake then i came out and continued with copy command in terminal.
after some time when i tried to login by using su and with password it says "incorrect password". So i logged out and entered root login for gui and it works well, but i'm not able to use the same password for su. can some one get around this issue?

I'm trying to install Skype on an Aspire One netbook, it shows the file in the downloads section but every time I click on it it asks for an administrator password. If I put this in the window closes and then comes up asking for it again a few seconds later, but if I put in the wrong password it gives me the option of changing it, but still won't allow me to run the programme

Is there a default password for root on pclinuxos? I didn't have an option to set the pw on reboot and it is no longer 'root'. I can't open the synaptic package manager or install wine without it, it seems.

I just installed umbutu 10 on a virtual machine running on VMware workstation 7.Workstation asked me for a username & password, which I supplied.The install went fine, and I logged on with the credintials that I provided to WorkStation. So far so good.I then downloaded Webmin and installed it, again no problems.I go to the provided link: URL... and it wants me to log-in as root.But I don't have the root password and checking umbutu it does not appear that I have a root user so that I can set a password.

I have tried: booting into single user mode (using '1' and 'single' in my bootloader edits) and it still ends up kicking me to the 'myBox login:' prompt booting from a live-CD with no luck - seems my CD drive is hosed, or the system just won't boot the CD
This is a system I set up, literally, years ago, with no need to touch it. It was originally set up as a file server, running SAMBA. I am wanting to add CUPS to it, and possibly a web server if it will handle the load. Currently, it is running Debian 4.0 without a GUI.
My next step, if I can't get into the root account, is to install a new OS (and try to salvage the file shares that exist). I just would rather keep the install that I have, but I need to hack/crack or change my root password.
