You basically do what you want. You should have several administrative functions available through the browser interface. You can set passwords, SSID's, WEP encryption, etc.... it depends on the router. What is it EXACTLY that you want to do ( please no general statements because when you log into a router, specifics become important).

(IP over Avian Carriers is the BEST TECHNOLOGY EVER)

Congratulate yourself.

Click on a tab.
Choose an option.
Read the FAQs included with the router.

Ask a vague question.

Under certain conditions, this might have actually been a useful thread.

I'll concur that reading the instructions for the equipment is very often a laudable goal.

Sticking a router up your butt does not make you an admin.

If you want to run a rootshell you need to enable the root user in NetInfo, but you really shouldn't until you're pretty sure you know what you're doing.


I used to have sudo rm -rf /* as my signature, then someone was asking what it did, so I decided to well, take it off:rolleyes:

Since Apple seems to have created their own group called "Admin" and given them sudo privlidges via /etc/sudoers

you can edit that file with a text editor (as root) however i would suggest leaving it there. This directory gives admin accounts root privlidges via sudo commands so really there is not much reason to have the root enabled on your mac.
