How can I setup users to have the same permissions and
access to all programs and files that root has?
I am one of 5 network admins and I
don't want any of us to use root.
Ownership of files can still be owned by each user but all 5 admins should be able to wrx them.
Thanks
Brian

that's kinda defeating the whole purpose of root. there would be no
difference between giving them the root password and you all having the same
access as root under your logins.
t; their usernames and won't have to remember the root password for each one.

You can have everyone in /etc/sudoers and have everyone sudo bash when they
login as themselves.

Yeah, but under your plan, your admins won't even have an unprivileged
account to experiment with even if they wanted or needed to. The first
thing most n00bs are taught about *nix, is 'DON'T LOG ON AS ROOT', and
you're considering worse than this, you're considering logging

passwords...
we have several machines with several admins and we
use 'sudo' to give root priveleges to the admins. we
dont even have to know the 'root' password to do root
commands. the
