Re: [suse-security] su to root

There is only one person who knows the root password, me. I have to log in remotely, most of the time with sshd, but in emergencies, with telnet and then su to root. My guess is that by the time sshd is dead telnet is also probably dead. There was a recent post to bugtraq about some vulnerabilities in ssh and besides I don't think you would want to telnet as root. Why not simply ssh as yourself and then su or use sudo to become root?
