How do I get root?

[dickie]

Hi all,

I just wanted to install nagios-nrpe-server on my B3, but due to the fact I can't get root, this is some kind of difficult.
WHat I've done:

Code: Select all

ssh b3
su

But although I'm pretty sure I've given the correct password, B3 complains every time:

Code: Select all

su: Fehler bei Authentifizierung

(which means "Failure on authentication" in English)

Any tips on that issue?

if you do su the default password is excito.

Hope that answers your question?

Yarr, that works for me! Thanks!

Is that documented anywhere?

Yes, it is stated in the users manual (p. 140).
