-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I haven't looked at the Linux kernel in this area, but did study some on it wrt the UNIX kernel circa System III and System V Release 3. Root is root, because it is uid 0. End of story.
Almost. There are some new Linux releases out that, I understand, allow one to essentially divide up the powers that are traditionally granted to root with added security mechanisms. However, I do not believe that these are found in any of the "main stream" Linux releases. As to why root is a member of all those groups ... It's a mystery to me, too!
