Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Hw to create root-equivalent accounts? Post 13959 by wizard on Friday 25th of January 2002 11:57:40 AM

This may or may not be helpful, but I downloaded openssh from http://www.sunfreeware.com and when I run ssh-keygen it asks me for the location to store the rsa1 keyfile. I specify the path where I want to store it, then change the sshd-config file to reflect the location of the keyfile. I use a secondary UID=0 account (not root) and I can ssh at will.

Obviously, the binaries from sunfreeware will only run on Solaris, but that's half your problem.
