Getting super-user privileges¶

A bit of background¶

After logging in to EGSE Host you can’t perform any super-user activities immediately. When you install new software or change configuration files, you need to get super-user privileges.

EGSE Host configuration grants sudo privileges to customer user.

Steps¶

1. Login to EGSE Host

   customer@egse-my-egse:~$ ssh customer@egse-my-egse
   

2. Use sudo -i to enter interactive super-user shell

   customer@egse-my-egse:~$ sudo -i
   root@egse-my-egse:~#
   

   Note

   Using sudo doesn’t require entering password.
