maybe i went a little too far with that. what i really want is a super-user/administrator/god account on my computer that isn't root, but can do everything root can do. that way, i can logon once and just forget about su and root. maybe then i'll feel like i have a say in how my computer works.
then again, maybe i'm just not cut out for computers anymore. or maybe i need a computer-savvy speech writer. i'm probably just bitter. --------------------------- Bitter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Patrick R.

This may not be such a good idea, however.
