The password should be randomly generated. If using FreeBSD, the adduser script will do this for you automatically. Alternately, you can select "no password" when creating the account and install our public SSH key. If you install the SSH key (the preferred method) then set the password field to "ssh key".

Use sudo to elevate privileges from standard login user to root. Create a login account (pw useradd matt) and set the password to "changeme" or some other randomly assigned equivalent using passwd matt. If you don't have sudo installed, install it (pkg_add -r sudo) and grant the user "matt" su privilges by adding this line "matt ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL" to your sudoers file. Edit the sudoers file using the "visudo" program. Test by logging in as "matt" and make sure you can "sudo su".

An alternative method for gaining root permissions is using the root password. If you choose this method, be sure to send a separate blank email to sales@tnpi.net with the root password. NOTE: Be sure to add the tnpi username (matt) to the wheel group be editing /etc/group. Test to insure that you can successfully log in as the tnpi user and su to root. It is also recommended that you change the password before granting us access. Then when we are finished, set the password back to the original setting.
