This username is not only known but also with unrestricted rights. If you use a Raspberry Pi normally, then you will not do that as &#8220;root&#8221;, but as user &#8220;pi&#8221;. But he has only limited rights. That means he can not do everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, however, you have to make changes to Raspberry Pi, and then you need the rights of &#8220;root&#8221; or root rights. With the Linux distribution Raspbian, the standard user &#8220;pi&#8221; can always get root privileges on the command line with the help of &#8220;sudo&#8221; or &#8220;su&#8221;. And that without knowledge of the root password. Depending on the need for security you want to limit this possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: Root access is a work tool. Without root privileges, you can not make changes to any system. However, direct root access always presents a security risk, especially if access is not restricted.<br><strong>Tasks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How do the root rights work in the default configuration?<\/li><li>Restrict the root privileges of the user &#8220;pi&#8221;.<\/li><li>Enable the root account by setting a password.<\/li><li>Disable the root account.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note: Change permissions<\/strong><br>If you change permissions, then you usually test the same. This is the only way to ensure that it works as it is desired. However, it sometimes happens that the permissions do not work as expected when tested, even though the change was made correctly.<br>In such cases, it is important to remember that changes to permissions and configurations must first be made by active instances. Depending on the instance, the instance must be restarted. In the case of user permissions (groups, etc.), the user must first log out and log in again. Only then, for example, will group assignments be adopted. Or if you change a server configuration, the service must be restarted. Only then does the service accept the changed configuration. There are even configuration changes that require a complete reboot of the system.<br>That is, when changing permissions and configurations, you should be aware of where you made the change (running process or file), and then consider which instance of it is affected (user, service, or system) and whether that instance restarts must be to take over the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution: Root rights in the default configuration<\/strong><br>In the default configuration of Raspbian (Images as of the end of 2014), no password is set for the user &#8220;root&#8221;. For this, the default user &#8220;pi&#8221; can work with root rights via &#8220;sudo&#8221;. And without restrictions.<br>&#8220;sudo&#8221; is generally referred to as &#8220;super user do&#8221;. However, &#8220;sudo&#8221; stands for &#8220;substitute user do&#8221;. With &#8220;sudo&#8221; you can execute commands with the rights of any user, not just &#8220;root&#8221;. Assuming you have root privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo {COMMANDO}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Solution: Switch to &#8220;root&#8221;<br>However, it can be quite annoying to always write &#8220;sudo&#8221; before any action. Therefore, there are ways to become &#8220;root&#8221; temporarily or permanently to make system-wide changes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo -s\nsudo su\nsudo su -\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>After entering the password, the normal shell becomes the root shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The command &#8220;su&#8221; stands for &#8220;substitute user&#8221;. In general, one also says &#8220;super user&#8221; to it. By &#8220;super user&#8221; is meant &#8220;root&#8221;, which has unlimited rights on a system. However, with &#8220;su&#8221; you can become not just &#8220;root&#8221; but every user.<br>The hyphen &#8220;-&#8221; after &#8220;su&#8221; means that the complete environment (aliases, paths, etc.) of the user are available and thereby also in his home directory is changed. If you leave the &#8220;-&#8221; off, you continue to work in the same environment you changed from. In this case, only the authorizations are accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With &#8220;sudo su -&#8220;, which is the short form of &#8220;sudo su &#8211; root&#8221;, one changes into the home directory of &#8220;root&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With &#8220;exit&#8221; one can leave the inherited user and return to the previously registered user. However, a possibly established SSH connection is not terminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution: install &#8220;sudo&#8221;<\/strong><br>In general, &#8220;sudo&#8221; is installed on multiuser distributions. However, it may happen that it is not the case. Then you can install it later.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\napt-get update\napt-get install sudo\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Solution: Restrict root privileges (query user password)<br>Normally, the user &#8220;pi&#8221; is only asked for his password when logging in. After that, he is no longer asked for his password. If the user then leaves his workplace, anyone can work on this system without restriction. Also with root rights by means of &#8220;sudo&#8221;. The idea is to restrict the permissions so that the user &#8220;pi&#8221; is occasionally asked for his password when using &#8220;sudo&#8221;.<br>To do this, make sure that the user &#8220;pi&#8221; is assigned to the user group &#8220;sudo&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo gpasswd -a pi sudo\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In principle, this makes any other user a system administrator.<br>However, this change will only take effect after the user has logged out and back in, provided that the user &#8220;pi&#8221; was not already in the user group &#8220;sudo&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nid pi\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Then we change the sudo user control (sudoers) with &#8220;visudo&#8221;. This will edit a file that you should never edit directly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo visudo\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Responsible for the password query when using &#8220;sudo&#8221; is the following line. It should be included in the configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n% sudo ALL = (ALL: ALL) ALL\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In the configuration file, we change the following line:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\npi ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>in<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n#pi ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With this we comment on the line that was originally there for the user &#8220;pi&#8221; was allowed to use &#8220;sudo&#8221; without password input.<br>Then save and close the file: Ctrl + O, Return, Ctrl + X.<br>&#8220;visudo&#8221; verifies the syntax before overwriting the original file. If you did something wrong you will be prevented from locking yourself out this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The change applies immediately. Now, &#8220;pi&#8221; must enter its own password at the first command line suffix &#8220;sudo&#8221; to obtain root privileges. For a few minutes, &#8220;pi&#8221; may continue to use &#8220;sudo&#8221; without password entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution: Activate root account<\/strong><br>In general, Raspbian does a good job of disabling the root account and administering the system exclusively as user &#8220;pi&#8221; using &#8220;sudo&#8221; or &#8220;su&#8221;. However, there are reasons to create a password for the user &#8220;root&#8221; and thus activate the root account. For example, if untrusted users have access to Raspberry Pi. The unnoticed could activate the root account and drive further mischief.<br>Therefore, if&nbsp; Raspberry Pi is used as a multi-user environment, the root account should be activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activation of the root account is done by giving the user &#8220;root&#8221; a password.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo su\npasswd\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Note: If you activate the root account, this also activates the root access via SSH. Of course this depends on the SSH server configuration. For security reasons, it makes sense to configure the SSH server so that a login via &#8220;root&#8221; is NOT possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalitut.com\/secure-ssh-server-on-raspberry-pi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Secure SSH server on Raspberry Pi<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: Root user rights only with root password<br>We want a user to gain root privileges as usual with the command prompt &#8220;sudo&#8221;. When using &#8220;sudo&#8221; additionally the root password should be queried and thus a double security be established.<br>A user should be able to use &#8220;sudo&#8221; only if he knows the root password. To do this, we need to make sure that the root account is enabled, so that &#8220;root&#8221; has a password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a user &#8220;pi&#8221; you can use &#8220;su&#8221; to become the user &#8220;root&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo su\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If the root password is NOT asked at this point, then none is set up. That should be done on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\npasswd\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>After entering the password and the confirmation, you leave &#8220;root&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: plain; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nexit\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Then you try again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo su\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now &#8220;su&#8221; will not let us become &#8220;root&#8221; until the root password has been entered correctly. Then you can enter as &#8220;root&#8221; all commands without &#8220;sudo&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As &#8220;root&#8221; we add &#8220;pi&#8221; first to the user group &#8220;sudo&#8221; if the user &#8220;pi&#8221; is not already assigned.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\ngpasswd -a pi sudo\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Then we add a parameter in the sudo user control (sudoers).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nvisudo\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Here you insert the following line:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nDefaults rootpw\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This setting ensures that when using &#8220;sudo&#8221; not the user password, but the root password is queried.<br>After the change, save and close the file: Ctrl + O, Return, Ctrl + X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you leave the user &#8220;root&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>exit<br>Note: The additional query of the root password, of course, makes sense only if this password deviates from the actual user password. If both are identical, an activated root account would make no sense at all and would not be safe either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution: Disable root account<\/strong><br>In the following way you bring the root account back to the &#8220;disabled&#8221; state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First you have to remove &#8220;Defaults rootpw&#8221; via &#8220;visudo&#8221;. If that is still in it, if you delete the root password, then you can use as a normal user no &#8220;sudo&#8221; more. And logging in as &#8220;root&#8221; may not work anymore.<br>Only when you have ensured that &#8220;sudo&#8221; no longer asks for the root password, then you can delete the root password.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nsudo passwd -d root\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Note: Difference between &#8220;sudo&#8221; or &#8220;su&#8221;?<br>With the help of &#8220;sudo&#8221; one can execute commands with the rights of each user. As a rule, you use &#8220;sudo&#8221; to execute commands with the rights of &#8220;root&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of &#8220;su&#8221; you can switch to any user and then work with his rights. In general, one changes with &#8220;sudo su&#8221; to &#8220;root&#8221;, in order to execute commands with its rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference depends on whether you want to execute once with &#8220;sudo&#8221; command with the rights of another user, or if you switch with &#8220;su&#8221; to another user and executes all subsequent commands with its rights. Of course, you can also use &#8220;sudo&#8221; to execute all commands with the rights of another user.
