Since I'm used to using linuxconf, that's how I'll explain it... In User Account|Normal|User Accounts add or select the user you want to have root priveledges, and add that user to the root group You may be prompted to correct the user's ~/home directory permissions if they were initially created using the standard UID permissions. Microsoft and Novell both teach net admins to hold two or three administrator accounts to protect against forgetfulness... Adding users with root access is just as easy as with novel or NT/2000. --Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "rharvey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > how do you setup a second user to have the same access as root > a user that will be able to change root password. > In novell that is one of the first things we were taught was to have 2 admin > accounts so you wont get locked out of your system. > > Thanks > Robert > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: > Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list. > ______________________________________________________________________________ Vous avez un site perso ? 2 millions de francs à gagner sur i(france) !
