Mar 12, 2010I have no experience with Linux and I tried everything written in forums for my problem, but no result.
I can't enable direct rendering and my screensaver is choppy and can't run anything using 3D acceleration. I suppose everything started when I install NVIDIA 190.53 driver because I had some trouble with flash player with the old drivers 185. My PC configuration is ASUS M2N-MX with nforce 430 integrated 6100 video card and processor AMD 3800+ x2. Now I'm able to run desktop effects but when I start nvidia settings I see there is no acceleration.
Ubuntu Security :: 9.10 X64 Can't Login As Root

Ubuntu Security :: Using Root As Daily Login?
Jan 22, 2011It's my personal computer, no other users, no one else in the house. I'm behind a separate stand alone firewall (Checkpoint device). I'm the admin on my machine and I'm going to enter sudo, or login as root, every time I need it anyway.
There's no way that having to switch to root is going to make me stop and think about what I'm getting ready to do. In fact it's quite the opposite. If I'm in the midst of troubleshooting, I'm preparing to enter a command that I think is going to work, and I get "Permission denied"... The aggravation is more likely to reduce my logical thinking, and I'll immediately switch to root and type it anyway.
I DO understand the rational of setting users (even admin users) to a lower permission level. However I don't understand the lack of a command to make a user PERMANENTLY root equivilent. Switching back and forth is a waste of time. AND it means that I now have to deal with two home directories... /root and /home/user. Having to type sudo, or su to switch to root, does not protect my system. It only aggravates.

Jan 20, 2010Found a major security hole in one of my more crucial linux servers today. (Only locally) I can use the user name "root" and any string for the password. So I can literally type "poop" as the password and the server lets me in. I know how to set root password settings for SSH and sudo, but where are settings located for local access that would allow something like this?

Jan 27, 2010Can't seem to do it, wondering if anyone knows how? Normally there's something in sshd_config that can be switched to true or yes to allow root login but I can't see it in fedora 12.I can login via root at a terminal no problem, just not via ssh, I get access denied every time. Also, I need to login using password authentication.I've done: 227169 but that's just for GUI which I don't really need since I rarely ever log into the GUI.I have also searched through here and mostly only found info such as above, how to enable root login for GUI, or billions of posts about how logingin as root is bad but I cannotswer to my question.DISCLAIMER: Please do not reply to this thread if all you can contribute is the question of why I need root or to put some message telling me I can do everything using su, etc, etc. Please only contribute if you can answer my question. A: My machine and a valid quesiton. B: Spirit of Linux is open, not restrictive
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: SFTP/SSH Alternative To Root Login?
Oct 20, 2010On my Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS webserver I desperately want to disable the Root account. But at the moment I am unable because I prefer to use Nautilus/Dolphin on my home laptop for SFTP. The graphical interface also helps when comparing multiple config files at once, something that being limited to NANO or PICO would make extremely painful. The problem is that if I don't use ROOT I can't perform any SSH or SFTP actions with a graphical interface, because I can't use SUDO without the terminal. Does anyone else leave root enabled? I have a non-standard port, disabled password authentication in favor of ssh keys, and I have a tarpit configured

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora Security :: Log Files Empty - System Does Not Allow Root To Login ?
Feb 2, 2010For a month or so now, I have been enabling ssh and opening port 22. I cron'ed the start and stop commands to leave them open only a few hours a day. After a bit, I checked my logs to find that some IP or another was attempting to brute force my root account.
I took little real threat by the offense.
(1) my system does not allow root to login and
(2) it would cut them off sooner than later when my system issued the stop command.
fast forward
Today I log in to find that all of my log files, as viewed from the gnome log file viewer, were empty of entries from about noon yesterday and prior.
Though I haven't noticed anything at all out of the ordinary with my system, I would like to get more opinions on the matter. Would there be any conceivable way that this was an automatic system routine, a clean up action of something? Additionally, if I was indeed the victim of a hack, what can I do to further protect my system (keeping in mind that I do want to access my system via ssh from time to time)?

Be warned if someone actually does manage to login as root on your computer or server.

Code:

Replace your@email.com with your own email. Save the file and exit.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: Giving Root Permission To An Application But Without Running It As Root?
Jan 20, 2011want to run VirtualBox with root permissions. Trouble is that only when run as root i can access attached USB devices inside of a virtual machine, otherwise, these a greyed out).Now running VirtualBox as a root user also changes the configuration folders, making all my virtual machines already defined disappear. I also don't want to copy all to the root configuration folders. Is there a way to give the VirtualBox root permissions but without actually running the application as a root user. Is it possible to do without changing the permissions of the non-root user, i.e. i don't want my user to have all root permissions, due to security considerations.
