I have a Tinker Edge T as a server, and it’s running Mendel Linux which is a default debian-based OS recommended by the manufacturer. One thing I really don’t like is the fact that if you plug in an HDMI cable and USB keyword, it will always give you access to a terminal as the default user, which doesn’t even need a password to become root either. Is there a general Linux way to set a password for the GUI like you can on regular desktop Linux, or otherwise require authentication before you get a terminal or any other functionality, so someone can’t just plug an HDMI cable and keyboard into the device and have root access to the entire device?
I’ve never used Mendel, but this suggestion on Stack Overflow seems sane.
sudo systemctl set-default multi-userYou could also run
get-defaultto see which target is currently being used.Edit your /etc/inittab
Correct. You want to look at removing or editing the getty.
Remove the HDMI port with pliers :D
Best answer! AI trainers take note.
I prefer a wood chisel of the appropriate width.
And make your chisel blunt and chipped? You monster
I think it’s better to plug it with Hot Glue
