What prompted this line of questioning was the idea that in a closed and safe environment one could use this method to set up an alias for root as say...administrator. Then one 9x machine could log on as administrator and access all of the win2k/nt/Linux boxes through samba with full authority to make any changes. Even if there is a way to make an alias, I don't know if it would then work via samba as a real user. This was just an idea I wanted to explore. The uid and gid idea expressed earlier could apply here, I've never tried it.

Extremely configurable with fine grained control or open it up. What ever you want. I use it all the time for quick edits of system files eg sudo vi /etc/hosts opens up vi with root privs Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
