Re: Newbie trouble: How to log on as "root"
Add the user to one or more of these groups: dialout, cdrom, floppy, sudo,
(et cetera, see /etc/group). It won't make the user exactly root-like, but it's
a start. Better to add more privileges as you see the need, rather than give
blanket root privileges to another account, which kind of defeats the pur-
pose of the user account protections.
