allow password-less root accounts like all releases prior to 6.9


Recommended Posts

As I documented in this general support thread, unraid 6.9.1 requires the root account to have a password for many functions to work. I've been able to run unraid with no root password (and without the friction this causes) for over a decade. Nothing in my circumstances or practices has required changing this now.

 

A root password is required by

  • ssh
  • samba connections from windows 10
  • web UI

 

Root passwords are not required by

  • telnet
  • console access

 

Please either revert to the behavior of previous unraid builds that don't require a root password, or make this configurable.

 

Thanks,

- Eric
