How to access a JumpBox as root

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/11/2007 - 3:08pm.

JumpBox Runtime

Out of the box all JumpBox applications ship with the root account and SSH disabled. However, it is possible to run shell commands with root privileges using the following process.

Register the JumpBox
Enable shell logins using the account tool in the JumpBox Admin UI
Log into the JumpBox using the account 'admin' and the password you gave during setup.
Use the sudo command to execute commands as root. Sudo will ask you for a password where you should enter the password for the admin account. You can run any command you want this way.

Note: There isn't any need to do this, but if you really, really want to use the root account directly you can set a password for it by using sudo.

sudo passwd root

sudo -i
