QUOTE(G-17 @ Oct 22 2011, 08:38 PM) If you're new to FreeBSD, it's best to not login as root. It just brings unwanted risk and is potentially harmful (same goes for any distro) unless you really know what you're doing. Better to add your user to /etc/group (under Wheel) and use su or sudo. Su come with the system. Sudo you can get from ports. yeah the answer is correct, for local login, i think it's normal for using root and logout after use.. but for remote via ssh, default of FreeBSD doesn't allow direct root login, unless u're login using user id,a and that id must also belong to wheel group, so it can su to root. Any users which not belong to wheel group can't su to root, same like sudoers list. Bear in mind FreeBSD not using sudo, but like mr G-17 said, u can install it via ports or pkg_add.Theoretically only rootkits might be a cause for concern on BSD systems. Not all rootkits are bad, though. If you're really worried, try: http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/security/rkhunter.html (note: it gives a lot of false alarms) 1st and the most important thing is to patch/update your FreeBSD security bugfix/patch.. the easierst way and lazy too is using freebsd-update I do write a How-To regarding this: http://trunasuci.pbworks.com/w/page/463674...0FreeBSD-update just my newbie opinion.. |
