This document was generated from CDN thread Created by: Rachid . on 04-01-2011 04:28:08 PM I am trying to enable the root user on TC4, but I can't get it to work.I've tried the commands systemtools rootsettings on and systemtools rootsettings on mypassword, also rebooted after enabling but it's still not enabled.What am I missing here?systemtools rootsettings ?
usage: rootsettings [on/serial/off/never/get]
Command to control root user availability:
Note that root user's password is always empty!
get obtain current setting
off root user is not available
never root user permanently turned off
serial root user is available on serial port only
on root user is available on all ports.Subject: RE: Unable to enable root user on TC4 Replied by: Viggo Fredriksen on 04-01-2011 05:05:52 PMHi Rachid, do you know if someone have ever used:1systemtools rootsettings never
If that is the case, then I think it's impossible to set it back to on without returning the codec. Otherwise, I'll need to do some digging to find out what could be blocking this setting.Subject: RE: Unable to enable root user on TC4 Replied by: Roger Boe on 05-01-2011 08:49:19 AMHi Rachid,If you set the root user to never, you must factory reset your unit to be able to enable the root user again. This can be done with the command: xCommand SystemUnit FactoryReset Confirm: YesBest regardsRogerSubject: RE: Unable to enable root user on TC4 Replied by: Rachid . on 12-01-2011 03:04:14 PMThe FactoryReset indeed helped.I cannot remember executing the command systemtools rootsettings never (I read about the impact before).Perhaps one of my collegues did it this. Or I mistyped.Is there a way to tell if this command has been executed btw?Would be handy for remote systems.Subject: RE: Unable to enable root user on TC4 Replied by: David Bruun-Lie on 19-01-2011 04:43:12 PMRachid,typing "systemtools rootsettings get" will show the status of the setting.Cheers,David
