give user SU to access evrything?
 
Hi, me again! :P

Well, ive been told i can give a user SU rights to access evrything, but i cant seem to see it no where in the users/groups control panel...

Is it possible or not?

thanks again

it's a VERY BAD idea...

i guess so, if the user is not me, but im the user i want to assign the rights

are you talking about giving yourself root privilages while using your regular account??

that's what i thought when i read "access everything"...

Wouldnt that just be the equivalent as running as root (bad idea)

OverrRyde 08-05-2004 11:29 AM

i guess, but i prefer to be able to do evrything just as root by beeing user...

is it possible or not?

yes, it's possible, but you might as well install windows 98...

Listen to win32sux...

It is a bad idea...just do a little homework, read the forum, and you'll see its not the best idea.

Why don't you just login as root and surf the net? To me that defeats the very reason for having a root account...
