CMS Secondary Root Login

In instances both you and the customer require root access you can build them a secondary root password this will have to be done from the current root login;

First add the user

adduser root2

Give the new user a password

passwd root2

Change the permissions of your new login

vi /etc/passwd

Scroll down to the bottom where your new login is created and change it to the following;

root2:x:0:0:root:/export/home/root2:/bin/bash

Quit vi (esc followed by :wq! should save it)

Now test and confirm it works.
