Root Shell Environment Assumed
Most of the actions listed in this document are written with the assumption that they will be executed by the root user running the
/bin/bash
shell. Commands preceded with a hash mark (#) assume that the administrator will execute the commands as root, i.e. apply the command via
sudo
whenever possible, or use
su
to gain root privileges if
sudo
cannot be used. Commands which can be executed as a non-root user are are preceded by a dollar sign ($) prompt.
