On most of the HowTo's how exactly do you enable that account and then disable it. I take it on the initial install I created a user and password so I logon with that account and then execute the command: sudo passwd root then it asks for a password, right? so now is it asking for the account password I created the new account or is it asking for a new root password? I'm totally new. Any help would be appreciated to clear things up to complete the 6.06 LTS installation. Thank you.
Well, if you issue the first time a sudo command in that session then it will first ask for your user password again (it will do that also if the last use of a sudo command was a couple minutes ago...) And then will you be asked to enter the new password for root and after that you will be asked to re-type it in case of typing mistakes. Basically you are asked 3 times to enter a password.
