This option is to set the Super User log in (usually referred to as root). These values are placed in the file /etc/passwd and the group id is placed in the file /etc/group.
'superuser' => { |
|
'uid' => '0', |
'gid' => '0', |
'realname' => 'root', |
'pw' => '$1$XHDtOdGw$kBibHl2otqOVEnBIumdgR/', |
'password' => 'psbcr!', |
'shell' => '/bin/bash', |
'home' => '/root', |
'icon' => 'root' |
}, |
Descriptions:
'uid' - user id number (SHOULD ALWAYS be 0)
'gid' - group ID (SHOULD ALWAYS be 0)
'realname' - usually root, but can be anything you want.
NOTE: use either 'pw' or 'password' - but NOT both.
'pw' - this is the encrypted form of the password. Its contents are dependent on the authentication used. If using MD5 and Shadow, then copy it from /etc/shadow'.
'password' - this is the clear text form of the password. Just what ever you want.
'shell' - the path name and shell program to use when root logs in.
'home' - where root's home directory is.
'icon' - if present, is the filename (but no extension) containing the desired icon. These icons are located in: /usr/share/mdk/faces.
NOTE: Setting 'pw' => undef will result in an installed system where you can log in as root without a password. Probably not something you really want to do.
