Yes, but he was speaking circa 1985. In 1985 we didn't have myriad webhosting companies giving their clients login privileges. The man page from gnu su from the latest Red Hat (7.3), but that one doesn't seem to require membership in wheel for su to work. I haven't tested any RaQs. Since we don't offer shell accounts it doesn't matter to us, but if we did, I'd NOT want people to be able to log into root unless they were members of wheel. Stallman likes to empower people; I don't like to empower them to get into my servers as root. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux and Cobalt/Sun/RaQ Consulting nobaloney.net, P. O.
