Setting up root-level accounts

LogLogic® LMI requires at least two root-level accounts at the OS level (root and toor), and each has its own shell.

  • The root account has a custom LogLogic LMI shell.
  • The toor account is privileged (uid=0) and uses a standard Linux Bash shell for all general maintenance tasks and to access the appliance for troubleshooting. The toor account is disabled until you log in as root, and then set a password for root and toor accounts.
    Procedure
  1. Log in as the root user with password logapp.
  2. When prompted to enter a new root password, re-enter the same password at the confirmation prompt.
    It is recommended to choose a suitable password based on the standard guidelines for strong password security, although the system accepts weak passwords.
  3. When prompted, enter a new toor password, and then confirm your password.
    Warning: Ensure that you make a note of your root and toor passwords and store them in a safe location. Lost passwords cannot be recovered.
ResultAt this point the toor account becomes available.
