Now Here I am going to post 1 trick for TeamViewer. Many Users who likes to work as root and but in RHEL-5 there is restriction for Running as root.
Whenever you are trying to run TeamViewer as root from Terminal, You will get message like below :-
TeamViewer must not be executed as root!
By Following few steps you will be able to run TeamViewer as root.
Follow Steps to run TeamViewer As root.
1. Login as root user to do these all steps.
2. Open Terminal Go to Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal
3. Now Lets find where exactly teamviewer command is. Execute Following command to Find it out.
[root@sandeeplinux3 ]#which teamviewer
/usr/bin/teamviewer <– You will get this kind of output on your terminal
4. Be safe So First Lets take a backup of Original TeamViewer Command. Execute Following Command
[root@sandeeplinux3 ]#cp /usr/bin/teamviewer /usr/bin/teamviewer.orig
5. Open teamviewer file. Here in /usr/bin/teamviewer they have put the restriction for root user. So Lets Remove it. Open File By Executing vi /usr/bin/teamviewer and You will able to see following lines into /usr/bin/teamviewer :-
userid=$(id -u)
if [ $userid = 0 ]
then
echo TeamViewer must not be executed as root!
