In reply to Chaitanya. @Chaitanya, SELinux is a security feature in Linux that adds an extra layer of access control. If you want to execute restorecon and setenforce commands after logging in as root, you can do so as follows:

# restorecon -Rv /path/to/target
# setenforce 0   [enforcement mode]
# setenforce 1   [permissive mode]

In reply to Thomas.

It changes to

root (my username)#

Is there not a root without the user?

Does this make sense?

This was very useful and worked as described, with no difficulties. When I use su from my user account the prompt changes from $ to #. But keeps the user. I am used to Su being only root. I have not used Linux for a decade, has this changed? I would prefer only one Su account that is root. Is a new way better?
