Hi

you can put the user in the root group and also the user can do su to user root to work
with user root.

I'm not quite sure of your question but you can get the sudo package from the HP-UX Porting Center to do this.

I too was not clear on your question, but sudo is one. We also use powerbroker. Then you can also use restricted sam, which will allow your users some sam operation privlidges. As I'm sure you know becareful just how much power you give another user.

hi,

i failed to understand your question. Do you wanna make a user , root equivalent ?. if yes you can just change his user id to "0".

I've seen people make users with UID=0. Remember that overlapping UID numbers can reak havock with X windows, and certain network applications. Some things check UID, while others check for USRNAME! To me IMHO this is a pretty lame method of eithere giving someone root password, or not installing SUDO!
