In Linux (and all UNIX-type operating systems) superuser is another name for root... the account that owns the operating system, and has unlimited power to change things. Most of the time, root does not log in as root, but instead, logs in using a regular identity, with a regular set of limited permissions, just like everybody else. When that person has to perform an administrative task, that requires root power, they do not have to log out, and log back in as root, they instead use the 'su' command, which asks them for a password, and they supply the root password, and then they get a root shell to work in. Read 'man su' on you machine, or, failing that... http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?su -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
