  • 1.  STRM - How to add shell users?

    Posted 06-16-2014 04:18

    Hi Guys!

     

    I'm going to install a JSA5500 with the 2014.1 R1 STRM software release.

    For compliance reasons I'd like to add two (local) named users.

    We're not supposed to use the kinda 'anonymous' root user. So I'd like to add named local accounts with root permissions. As the System is Linux-based I thought that should be possible...

     

    Could you give me any advice on how to do that, please?

     

    Thank you!!

    Hi,

     

    Login via SSH as root user and run "adduser accountname" and after that change the password for the new user by running "passwd accountname". After that you should be able to login with your new account.

    Concider configuring sudo to meet your privilege requirements. Creating superusers is never a good idea. Instead add normal accounts and use sudo to elevate your permissions only when needed. You can find dozens of helpful sites by simply googling "sudo configuration".
