not only in ubuntu - in any distro, the first user - they guy who installs the system gets the root password. And unless he gives it to anyone else, no one else has it. Ubuntu just has a weird way of doing this. btw, I find that pressing 'reply' to any message from you to the list results in a private message to you - can you not change that for list mail. I remember once pressing reply, and you were not happy to have the discussion offlist - and I never realised it had gone offlist. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
