Is that a > virt-manager feature or is it going to be normal for Fedora 28? I think I remember reading that there will be no default root account after install of F28 or later. Again, I think I remember the workaround was to use sudo, and then create a root account with useradd. You will have to specify the root directory as /root (man useradd), otherwise I think the default is to create it in /home (/home/root? :-)). Be sure to check the permissions on the /root directory after you create it. The default that used to be created by anaconda was 550. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
