 | View Full Version : limited root access manhal 10-09-2009, 07:19 AM A developer (hired by my) asked me to give him the root access to install some tools for me, how can I do that in a way so that he will not be able to see or access my current data/files, I mean is there a good way to give someone the root access? Thanks. zacharooni 10-09-2009, 07:30 AM What does he need root access to install? Root privileges means full access to everything. manhal 10-09-2009, 11:28 AM He wants to install ffmpeg, is this something that needs root access ? kris1351 10-09-2009, 11:51 AM Implement sudo is the best route. N1HOST 10-27-2009, 07:13 AM There are Ffmpeg install scripts if you want to do it yourserlf, but yes sudo would be the best way to go in this route whmanaged 10-27-2009, 08:42 AM I agree with them all sudo is the best resource. DO NOT GIVE ROOT! You shouldn't even login as root really! |
