My feeling would be that you could blow it away if you so desired. # Bonus question: Are the root restrictions (ie no tty login, no console # login, no ssh login) and logging automatically relevant to toor, or do I # need to configure all that stuff explicitly for toor? I was originally going to say it shouldn't be a problem because toor and root both have uid 0. Although the default install gives toor an * in the master.passwd so toor can't login through those methods even if uid 0 was given permissions to do so. -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Joseph Scott The Office Of Water Programs | | joseph@randomnetworks.com joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu | -------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
