create user like root
hello

I would like to create another user like root
With smit user, I have duplicate all the configuration from root to root2 (groupe, secondary group, administrative, etc...)
But when I connect with root2, i don't go to all directory: "permission denied !"
I don't understand where is the problem ?

thank you

Make a backup copy of your passwd in /etc.

Edit root2 to look like the following:

root:!:0:0::

Computer tricky way...............
theres one more way to give a user the exact root priveldges....

the system considers a user as root only based on the uid and gid of the user...

for a root (uid=0 and gid=0)

so you can edit the /etc/passwd file and change the column where its shows the userID and the groupID of that user to 0 and 0, then that user will have all of root permissions..... Smilie

hello !

Thank you for your response
But i think that the UID is a uniq number ? we can't give the same UID for another login ?

you can change the UID, no problem... the system will think that you are root since it has uid=0...

so no problem...... Smilie
