Date: Sat, 17 Aug 1996 13:36:37 -0700 Organization: Northcoast Internet Lines: 7 Message-ID: <32162D55.538E@tidepool.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: bluelake.northcoast.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b5 (Win95; U) In the adduser program on 2.1.5, I noticed that there seems to be no way to be established as a root. I tired to redue it, and put myself in UID or group 0, but it wouldn't let me. I'm new at this by the way. I noticed that I have to relogon as root, and cannot use "su" from "my" home directory. Thanks. Charles Smith
