That will of course require roots password, not the users password. If you want a "get a working environment that is the same as switching to root", then "sudo -i" can be useful. It also means you can make a whitelist of the users who can sudo to root in sudoers, vs su which anyone can use as long as they know or can guess roots password. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
