Do you mean two root users?
If you are using a "normal" system, you could edit the /etc/passwd file copy the line that identifies root, rename the user, and passwd it or clear out the password. This is generally not a great idea, since some things (like the mail command) can break. Would su or sudo work for you? |

We have veritas netbackup installed and it has root UID of 0.
However, it is setup with a different home directory, password. I believe in this case it doesn't interfere with our root mail. root: password here:0:3::/root:/sbin/sh rootnb: password here:0:3:Veritas Root account,,,:/home/nbu/rootnb:/usr/bin/sh Create a new user with a different home direcotry and UID of 0. Just remember that this is somewhat dangerous. You may only wish to give sudo privledges to a user. edit the /etc/sudoers file to give root command authorization to a user or users.
