I have a XO-1, running kernel 2.6.31_xo. I wish to enable/disable the root access (currently, the root access is enabled).
The normal process of changing the root password using "passwd" doesn't seem to work. If it is tried, the 'olpc' user is able to switch to root, without being asked for the password. The approach works in the "standard" fc14 kernel, though.
Do this carefully, obviously, as if you loose root access, you'll be out of luck until you perform a USB clean install (and this only if you have already received the developer key).
1. Now, running "sudo <command>" from "olpc" login gives me "olpc not in sudoers file". Fine. Works as expected.
The OLPC uses Open Firmware as the startup firmware. Instead of auto-booting into the Sugar (linux) operating system, you can ESC out into the firmware's environment and perform actions at its "OK" prompt.

Argentina can resume business with country export credit agencies, following Paris Club deal — MercoPress
Navy withheld British minisub offer to find ARA San Juan, Argentine Defense Minister Oscar Aguad admits
“The financing means funds for infrastructure, development, technology and for the future of all Argentines”
Argentine president Cristina Fernandez praised on Thursday the agreement reached with Paris Club creditors and said that the government will now turn to international credit markets to finance “infrastructure, development, and technology.”
“It is a very important day for Argentina, with the Paris Club agreement over the debt and the invitation to the BRICS summit in Brazil,” the President tweeted today.
“The financing that we will obtain will not be spent –as it has been in past decades- on the great financial casino,” she stated, “Funds for infrastructure, development, technology and for the future of all Argentines.”
The President also tweeted about Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavorv’s formal invitation to Argentina to attend BRICS summit to be held in Brazil in July and specified that the bloc represents 25% of the global GDP and 43% of the world’s population.
“Let me tell you. The BRICS are: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Yesterday, our country was invited to its summit in July,” she wrote. “Our country, not this President, not for tea and scones as some very, very, very small headlines seem to suggest.”
The fact is that granting some breathing room to Argentina, the Paris Club agreement calls for a first installment of at least 1.15 billion dollars due by May 2015, followed by another payment within a year.
The group said the deal cleared the way for export credit agencies of its members to resume doing business with Argentina, which should ease making foreign investment in the country.
Buenos Aires has been eager to secure a deal that does not put too much strain on its balance of payments. Argentine central bank reserves stood at 28.6 billion as of Monday evening.
Argentina and Paris Club members came close to striking a deal in 2008 but the government pulled out at the last moment, concerned about its falling foreign exchange reserves in the midst of the global financial crisis.
Argentina wrung a major concession from the Paris Club by avoiding any International Monetary Fund involvement in the deal, which the creditor group usually requires.
The country's history with the informal group of mostly Western nations goes back to the Paris Club's origins in 1956, when Argentina agreed to meet its public creditors in Paris.
What happened to the isolationist movement? We don't pay our debts and you can't make us. We don't need anything from any foreign country.
Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi said the EU’s agricultural representative had called him by telephone and that they are due to meet to discuss the issue.
He also confirmed he had been in contact with the heads of the two meat producers involved in the scandal, JBS (beef and pork) and BRF (poultry).
The EU and Mercosur bloc are set to press on with negotiations on a massive trade deal and ”this situation really complicates negotiations”.
European Union has insisted Brazilian representatives attend an emergency meeting to explain themselves regarding a scandal involving rotten meat and the country’s two largest exporters, JBS and BRF. Brazil has already announced that the 22 plants (out of over 4.000) allegedly involved in the scam have been closed.
Brazilian Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi told national media that the EU’s agricultural representative had called him by telephone and that they are due to meet to discuss the issue. He also confirmed he had been in contact with the heads of the two meat producers involved in the scandal, JBS (beef and pork) and BRF (poultry).
The EU and Mercosur bloc are set to press on with negotiations, currently in Buenos Aires, on a massive trade deal and Brazil is naturally concerned that this scandal could jeopardize those talks. A foreign ministry representative admitted that “it really complicates negotiations”.
”This problem affects and will affect everyone. I do not know what the consequences will be but we are going to have problems and we will have to work hard in order to minimize their impact. We have a robust, rigid system that is validated by our international buyers but it fails when people are corrupted and that is regrettable,” Blairo Maggi explained.
Brazil, one of the world’s largest food producers, was rocked by a police operation on last Friday where it was revealed that large meat producers had bribed health inspectors to certify tainted food as safe for human consumption.
“The Commission will ensure that any of the establishments implicated in the fraud are suspended from exporting to the EU,” a spokesman for the European Commission told a regular press briefing.
The executive added that the meat scandal would have no impact on negotiations currently under way between the EU and Mercosur, in which the two sides hope to reach agreements on free trade.
Brazil is the globe’s largest exporter of beef and chicken and fourth in terms of pork sales. Exports of these products made up 7.6% of its trade in 2016 and topped US$11.6 billion, with the EU its main trading partner.
“What the federal police’s investigation shows is that a crime has been committed against the Brazilian people, which merits being punished to the fullest extent possible,” said a communication from the minister, who cut short a ten-day-long sick leave to deal with the situation.
Maggi insisted that “a lot of action has already been implemented in order to correct distortions and stamp and corruption”, adding that “new measures will now be taken”. The minister concluded that a “zero tolerance” approach would be taken.
Former Tory Party leader William Hague has issued a blunt warning to Cabinet Brexiteers not to push their demands for a clean break with the European Union too far. Ahead of crunch Cabinet talks at Chequers on Friday, Lord Hague said Parliament could force a “watered-down” Brexit on the Government if ministers fail to agree a compromise plan on Britain’s future customs relationship with the EU.
Lord Hague has become the latest senior Conservative to intervene within the party about how the UK should manage its withdrawal from the European Union. Writing in the Daly Telegraph, the former foreign secretary warned that disunity over Brexit could hand power to Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party.
Lord Hague has compared Brexit to taking control of a gun, saying it is possible to find a solution without using it to “shoot your foot off”. The former Conservative leader said he believes there is sufficient common ground among the different political parties to negotiate with the EU.
Philip Hammond has been backed by former Tory leader Lord Hague amid ongoing Cabinet tensions about the approach to Brexit. The ex-foreign secretary said the Chancellor deserves credit for pushing for a transitional deal which preserves close ties to Brussels, giving time for a new trading relationship to be established and avoiding turning Brexit into a disaster.
Brexit will “undoubtedly” harm the UK’s ability to work with other EU countries on foreign issues and its influence in the world, warns former Conservative foreign affairs minister William Hague, including protection of the Falkland Islands, and ensuring solidarity among 28 countries.
Prime Minister Theresa May should call an early general election, former Tory leader Lord Hague has urged. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Lord Hague said bringing forward the next election could help the UK secure a better deal in Brexit negotiations.
Former British Prime Minister David Cameron announced on Monday that he is stepping down as a member of Parliament, just months after leaving 10 Downing Street. Cameron, a member of the Conservative Party, stepped down as prime minister in July after the United Kingdom voted in a June referendum to leave the European Union, saying the country needed new leadership.
Lord Hague warns Brexit could put at risk Falklands' sovereignty and cautions about UK disintegration
Former foreign secretary William Hague said that if Britain votes to leave the European Union, the Falkland Islands sovereignty could be put at risk, while Gibraltar would left in a very difficult position. The statement was published this week by The Telegraph in an article under the heading: Brexit would put the Falkland Islands' sovereignty at risk
Brexit campaigners have hit out at former foreign secretary William Hague after he claimed the Falkland Islands could fall to Argentina if the UK votes to quit the EU. In comments rubbished as scaremongering by Leave campaigners, Mr. Hague warned of an uncertain future for Falkland Islanders.
By William Hague - Among the most inspiring experiences of my time in politics was meeting people who, in spite of great pressure to the contrary, chose to be British.
