user problem

[Lexxx]

Hi Guys,

I created a user XXX with same group as root.
But when I log in as XXX and tries to switch different user... it still prompts me a password. Did i miss something creating XXX. ? The purpose is to create XXX with same functionality as root. thanks

Only root (user id 0) is root. A user with the same user id is root too.

[Lexxx]

Do you mean I can create XXX with same userid as 0-- root.?

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

Yes, but I want to recommend to use SUDO for this.

[Lexxx]

do you have links to this sudo. thanks a lot.

The origin is courtesan if my memory serves me correctly,
but it's easier to use the depot from HP's Internet Express collection.
e.g. for 11.11

Sorry, for the now redundant information.
Seems Torsten already submitted the links while I was still filling the textarea
