Question About DietPi Dashboard Terminal Default User

Hi,

I have a quick question regarding the terminal feature in the DietPi Dashboard.

I noticed that it signs in as root, even though I’ve previously locked the root account using sudo passwd -l root. I’m wondering if this is expected behavior or something to be concerned about. Also, is there a reason it doesn’t default to my regular user account instead of root?

Thanks!

If I am not mistaken, the dashboard is executed as root user. Therefore, the shell is also root.
