I *think* you can log on as root, go into Linuxconf, User accounts, user
accounts, select the user you wish to edit, and add/subtract permisions
available to that user. Linuxconf just asks me for the root pswd so I
don't have to log out and then log back in as root. Same w/ Kpackage.
Don't worry, I'm on my umpteenth install which I'll post about in a bit
:-)
