You may activate and define the root password with the following command:<br>

Does anybody know how to setup a classic UNIX style root and user<br>account system. I love ubuntu, but this 'sudo' stuff has got to go.<br><br>I've set up multiple user accounts on my system, but in order for them<br>to 'sudo' I'll have to add their accounts to the sudoers file. I created
<br>a root account, but I can't 'sudo' or 'gksudo' from the user accounts<br>with the root password, or any password for that matter.<br><br>If I add the new accounts to the 'sudoers' file, I'll effectively have<br>multiple passwords to access the super-user account. Doing this just
<br>doesn't feel right.<br><br>I understand having the 'sudo' set up this way for the windows migrants<br>to get adjusted; which seems fine, but there should be a way for us UNIX<br>weenies to have our way too ;)<br><br>JKH
