The user accounts are, Administrator and whatever other account was created at the installation of the OS as the admin account to log on as. I have checked and double checked the privelidges and attributes of these users and they appear identical to every other. Some commands do work e.g. 'pwd, cd' produces acpected results 'ls, vi' stack dump...... If you would like any more details please feel free to contact me.
