OK , but is there any way that I can have/make more than one super-users ? To
this
end , can I play off a uid and make a person a super-user (my experiment
already did
not work - the guy I rewarded with a uid of 40 , was absolutely a normal user in
every sense of the term , with not a modicum of super-user powers !)
I man-ed sudo , but all the wording was incomprehensible , so I still
do not
know how to get say , user1 to sudo on a command. I suppose there are a hundred
and
one other solutions out there.
Please offer your views on this .

No, uid = 0 is superuser, anything lese is a normal user.
UID < 100 is generally reserved for daemons/system users.
