How to open my own terminal always as root

[Armchair Rockstar]

I don't like to have to do sudo -s on my own computer just to decipher something :S

Also, when I copy passwd file from another computer to mine, when I try to open it (by clicking) I'm getting "permission denied" error. Is it also about having root access on my own computer?

1) Get root on your own computer
2) chmod the file like this: chmod o-rwx
3) crack the passwords


For the root terminal, i do not have a clue if that is possible.

Yeah, any file you copy over from a remote computer to yours retains all its permissions. The reverse is true too. You can either do as TerrorZaaier says and alter the permissions so you have access, or just always run everything while in root on your own computer. Permissions are irrelevant if you're root.

Sadly, theres no way to just default log in as root. You can create a custom script that can log in as root, then give it a name like "a", but this is a MASSIVE security risk.

Also, any program you launch from a root access terminal has root privileges too.

not really a massive security risk, just use the user_input("Password:",true) variable for the password field on the root login for the script. (this also allows you to delete the source and change the password at will because the password isn't actually stored in the file.) Put it on your desktop and root access is just a click and a password away.

Here I added an example to my useful snippets guide:

shell = get_shell("root","rootpass")
shell.start_terminal

Compile and run the file ;) It is considered a security issue because other will be able to execute the same file with user privs and get root access ;)
