Before I get into this, allow me to add a disclaimer: I don't know why this person wants to do this, I have advised them against it, I have told them it's a security risk and just general bad practice, but they want to do it anyway. So. This person wants to give their user account root privileges. I've never encountered a need to do that, so I have no idea how it would be done. usermod -G root doesn't seem to do the trick. Anyone have any suggestions? Sláinte, Richard S.

They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them." --Michael Moore -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
