Thanks for the response. > Is your uid actually 0? I don't understand ! The non-root user account's uid is 1000 and so is gid. /home/kevin is owned by kevin:kevin with uid:gid of 1000:1000 as is in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
He wants to know if the uid for root in /etc/passwd is 0. /etc/passwd should have a line it in that looks something like this. root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash If the 0 is something else then your user account named root isn't actually root, it's just a regular user account. I believe that the exception to this is if you installed SELinux. That would make it possible to lock down even your uid 0 root account, If I understand SELinux correctly.
