Hello everyone,
This is probley not the smartest of questions, but I was wondering what was
the best way to go about making another "root" account.
It only needs to be able to control the filesystem, not the entire system, so
I was thinking would making a user admin and putting it in the correct
groups, and making things like /etc /bin and /usr group writable.
chmod -R g+w /etc /bin /usr
..
Does this create any real security issues?.
Simon
All help and imformation appreciated.
