changing a users rights
sorry but here is another ridiculous question.
In f4 can someone tell me how to take a user and change his permission to root. I tried changing the etc/passwd and his group from 500 to 501 but on reboot it gives an error on the xml %gconf. I guess I'm trying it the old way. |
You need to make his uid 0. Of course, then he'll lose ownership of all files, and most likely (with a good config) be unable to login to the GUI.

And in general it's not a good idea to do day to day work as the superuser. You should use sudo oand/r su to give a user account access to root privs when needed.
