Re: n900 how to become a root
can anyone just clarify what the root password on the n900 is
sometimes the command sudo gainroot will enable the shell othertimes it asks me for a password which i have never set from reading the forums and wiki entrys i sort of found it could be either rootme passwd is any of them correct it would be really handy to know as sometimes it wont let me enable shell unless i enter a password thanks and sorry to bump an old thread like this just thought it better then startinga new one |

Re: n900 how to become a root
I've just re-flashed my N900.
I've seen the wiki: http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access I've already instaled roothsh. My problem is: Before reflash, i easly can do: sudo echo 900000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq now, it says access denyed. If i do: sudo /usr/sbin/kernel-load It prompt for password :S help please |

Your command will run echo as root, but then pipe to a privileged file *without* root privileges. For example, the following code rightly fails on my Ubuntu system (and on any Linux system): Code:
$ sudo echo a > /hello Code:
echo 900000 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq |
Re: n900 how to become a root
When I run su - to login as root, it gives me the error "su: must be suid to work properly." I then changed permissions for busybox: chmod 4755 /bin/busybox. Now I am able to run the su command. My question is, for the n900/maemo platform, what will changing the permissions to busybox (as I did) affect or impact?

Re: n900 how to become a root
this is going to sound like the most ignorant quesion ever but I have to ask. What are the advantages on becoming "root" on the N900? I'm obviously a noob and would understand if my account is banned because of this post lol
