Safe Root Access

By default, wTerm logs into a non-root user (wterm). For safe root access follow the procedure below:

  1. Open the wTerm preferences dialog from the app menu.
  2. Click on the 'Misc' tab.
  3. Change the 'Default Exec Command' to 'login -f root'.
  4. Restart wTerm.
  5. Run 'passwd' to set a root password.
  6. Run 'vi /etc/group', add 'wterm' to the root group.
  7. Change the 'Default Exec Command' back to 'login -f wterm'.
  8. Restart wTerm.
