Chapter 12. Installing on IBM System i and IBM System p systems<br />

Tip<br />

To change your time zone configuration after you have <strong>com</strong>pleted the<br />

installation, use the Time and Date Properties Tool.<br />

Type the system-config-date <strong>com</strong>mand in a shell prompt to launch the Time<br />

and Date Properties Tool. If you are not root, it prompts you for the root<br />

password to continue.<br />

To run the Time and Date Properties Tool as a text-based application, use the<br />

<strong>com</strong>mand timeconfig.<br />

22. Set Root Password<br />

Setting up a root account and password is one of the most important steps during your<br />

installation. Your root account is similar to the administrator account used on Windows NT<br />

machines. The root account is used to install packages, upgrade RPMs, and perform most<br />

system maintenance. Logging in as root gives you <strong>com</strong>plete control over your system.<br />

Note<br />

The root user (also known as the superuser) has <strong>com</strong>plete access to the entire<br />

system; for this reason, logging in as the root user is best done only to perform<br />

system maintenance or administration.<br />
