Hei If you mean that you want to create another user which has the same user and group id as root (take your pick) you need only open /etc/passwd in your favourite editor and change the third (user id) and fourth (group id) fields to 0 of a user that is already on the system. That user would log in as usual but would would have root powers - infact to the system that person would be root. Of course, I do not recommend doing this myself. t.irvine > > > Kevin Keithan > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
