Accessing A Red Hat Box Without The Root Login
Jan 23, 2008We have an internal server running Red Hat 8 or 9 that was taken offline at least 18 months ago. The guy who set up the box is long gone. Unfortunately with him went the root password. It wasn't a big deal until we realized there is some code we do want to get off of that box now that may be useful in a future project. In particular the database structure for one project. Is there any way to get access to this data or is it just lost?

Is there anyway my SUDO(wheel) account can still edit these files own by ROOT?

Disable Direct Root Login
May 16, 2007I tried to disable direct root login but had to struggle to find step-by-step instructions and have written the steps one needs to follow to disable direct root login.
This is an additional security measure where we prevent direct root logins and instead create a user to login and then use a command ‘su –‘ to gain root privileges.
The only risk in this procedure is that you may prevent root login but forget to add the user to the wheel group - effectively locking yourself out of the system.
Follow the steps below and you will not face a problem.
STEP 1: Let us create a user and add it to the wheel group.
For e.g. we want to create a user neonix and give him root privileges.
SSH into your server as root and follow the below commands to create a user.
groupadd neonix
useradd neonix –gneonix
passwd neonix
enteryouruserpasswordhere
verifyyouruserpasswordhere
// Please note -g in the second line
// You can replace neonix with any username of your choice.
STEP 2: Add user to wheel group.
Use your browser to Login to your WHM panel and click on Manage Wheel Group Users.
You will see the user you just added (neonix). Select the user and click ‘Add to group’.
You will see that the user has been added –
Users Currently in the wheel group root,neonix
You have successfully added a user to the 'wheel' group who will be able to 'su -' to root.
LOGOUT OF SSH
Before we disable root login, let us check if the user can login and su – to gain root privileges.
SSH into your server as 'neonix'
Login as: neonix
Password : enteryouruserpasswordhere
su –
password: enter root password here
You have successfully logged in and have root privileges. Now let us disable root login.
STEP 3: Disable Direct Root Login
(The below steps are from webhostgear.com)
1. Copy and paste this line to edit the file for SSH logins
pico -w /etc/ssh/sshd_config
2. Find the line
Protocol 2, 1
3. Uncomment it (Remove #) and change it to look like
Protocol 2
4. Next, find the line
PermitRootLogin yes
5. Uncomment it (Remove #) and make it look like PermitRootLogin no
6. Save the file Ctrl+X then Y then enter
7. Now you can restart SSH
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
Now, no one will be able to login to root with out first logging in as 'neonix' and 'su -' to root, and you will be forcing the use of a more secure protocol.
Just make sure you remember both passwords!
SSH Keys & Direct Root Login Disabled
Jul 3, 2008Currently I have a server that has direct root SSH access disabled (have to login as regular user then su to root), but I am currently working on setting up authentication via SSH keys, but I can't seem to get it working with direct root SSH access disabled? Is this normal, and if so is there anyway to work around it?
Basically I'd like to be able to authenticate both ways; both with SSH keys or by logging in as a regular user and su to root.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Difference Between Login - Root And Admin?
Apr 3, 2015During the installation of Plesk, at first it used the root password, and then had me create an "admin" user.
When I log in using either I don't see any difference in the UI or options. Is there a difference or a reason to use one over the other?
Or is it just to give someone access to admin Plesk without giving them full root password of the server itself?
Are Chained Root Ssl Certificates More Secure Than Single Root?
Nov 25, 2008I have read that although chained root ssl certificates can be more difficult to install they are actually more secure since the root certificate cannot be compromised, only the intermediary.
Is this true? It looks like both google and amazon both use chained SGC certs.

Plesk Automation :: Login As User From Admin / Actual Login As User Are Different
Jan 3, 2014when I find the subscription from the admin side of PPA, if I select "Login as user" I've noticed that it is different from actually logging in as the user - for example - "add domain alias" is missing when I login as a customer - but not as an admin... I need my customers to add their own aliases and manage them - how do I add that feature to the client login side?

Root Vs Su Root
Jul 9, 2008what is difference working as root and su root in SSH.?
Many recommend disabling logging as root, but lot many commands ( service, adduser, ifconfig and ...) are not working on the commandline under when logged as su. i feel like my hands are tied working as su root and many commands are not available.
why is it like that? is there any way i can feel comfortable logging as su similar like root login.
FTP As Root
Jul 13, 2008I just recently had someone from this forum install CentOS for me with ISPconfig and required modules to successfully run PHPmotion. However, the only FTP I can access are the ones I create FTP for in ISPconfig, such as web1_admin, web1_testuser, etc.
When installing a CentOS server with ISPconfig, isn't there a root to log into the FTP?
With the FTP accounts that I have, I cannot access public and home directory such as /var/www directories.
Is there suppose to be an account for FTP so I can succcessfully overlook the whole server?
I want to take a look at all the websites I have such as /var/www/www.test1.com, /var/www/www.test2.com, etc. all through FTP. However, I cannot do this. It's almost like I have no Admin power over my server.
He did not provide me with a root FTP account or any super admin FTP account. I am not sure if something suspicious is going on or not. Please help. I do not want to get hacked in and stolen files.
