hi guys, i have access to a serverrunning fc3 and i do not have root access and want to know what users are in the system and level are they, i went to the home directory and there are two users. I will eventually need root access but i cannot shut down the comp to reset the root passwd unless its at 4am or something.

thanks for your help.

superuser has uid of zero. All other users has a uid of nozero. For their privieges, it seems no way to find them out.

check out each user group memberships, the more the membership, the powerful the user.
