[Miguel Carabano_1]

Greetings,

I need to create a user with all the permissions of root.

Thanks.

Hi,

Set UID of the user equal to 0.

That is all.

HTH,

Rather than create a user with all the permissions of root, look at sudo. It keeps root secure, and allows ordinary ID's the capablility to run commands as root. It also has an audit trail that will help if a problem occurs.

All that is required is a UID = 0; the name 'root' means nothing BUT it is considered very, very poor practice and a security hazard to have more than one user with UID = 0.
