Mandrake Linux help
 

I have Mandrake Linux running on an old box I got from Dagney. After installing, I have root access locally, but I cannot access the machine from my LAN. It wants a password.

Where do I find/change this feature? I don't see anything in the documentation about it.

You'll need to telnet/ssh/rlogin in as a regular user and then use the following command to obtain a full root shell:

su -

Didn't work. My friend and I finally figured out the problem lay with Samba and a minor misconfiguration in there

I can now telnet into my new Linux machine.

Now what? I still know nothing about Linux...:(

Time to put away the toy and read the damn manual!

I don't know how much you've looked into discussion groups about linux but when I first started out I learned a crap load from them. The one I'm sticking with I decided is Linux Questions .
