Hi,

what do you mean with 'privileges'?
If you think about access permissions for files:
- chgrp MYGRP file...
- chmod 660 file...
-> now all users of the group MYGRP are permitted to read/write file...

If you really want to create a user with the same privileges as root (this 'setting' cannot be got via groups!), you must give him the uid 0 (zero). BUT: I WOULDN'T DO THAT!

Kamal,

mid three fields in file permissions has permission for groups. you can even use ACL's to assign permission to specific user or group.

Never ever assign root priviledge to any other user. Use sudo to assign selected priviledge to users. If you want to give some user same rights as root then edit /etc/passwd file and change his UID to zero (0).

Hi Kamal
The setprivgrp command associates a group with a list of privileges, thus providing access to certain system capabilities for members of a particular group or groups. The privileges can be displayed with the getprivgrp command.

For more info:
see
man setprivgrp.
or
