rpi root passwd

Red_Button · September 3, 2018, 4:58pm

Hi All, trying to set up a new RPI node. Using latest rpi Dial release. But need the default root password. Doesn't seem to be listed on the Allstar wiki.
the one for Repeater is listed but not root.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Cant proceed with configuring my node until I have rot password.
Used to be debian but I guess it was changed since the last release.

Thanks,

Jon RQ

You have to set one; “sudo” into root, then generate a new root password.

Thanks,

Also, if you want to ssh isn’t root, edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Change:
#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
To:
PermitRootLogin yes

If you want to change the host name from repeater, edit /etc/hostname

You also need to do this to get into your winscp if you are using it.This is after you have enabled root

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Scroll down to …

Permit root login yes

Don’t forget to uncomment out the # before the word “Permit”

Thanks, guys, Mike kb8jnm was able to give me the crucial info.

Typing "sudo asl-menu"  at the repeater prompt brings up the config

menu.

From there I was able to get the root password changed and initial

set up of the node.

I had done a node earlier this year but forgot to document what I

had to do.

All my notes date back to the older release when we didn't have to

use sudo.

Everything is good now.

Cheers!

Hello all. I did the instructions using sudo asl-menu a few times over.
It brought me to would you like to change the root password.
I followed the instructions a few times but no joy.
It would not change the root password.
Also, I kept trying to set the interface to static.
I followed the menu, made the changes, used the save command
and still no change.
FYI, I am doing my attempts using SSH via the ethernet port.
Is this something that only works via local?
Tnx, Mark WB2ERS

Bob_Pyke · January 22, 2021, 4:01pm

Yes, local or under sudo in root. You need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Change “PermitRootLogin yes” and you can edit your port number as well by removing the #.

Thanks,
