Since there is no root how do I copy files between two normal users?
We are using Ubuntu as workstations here in office, normal users can still copy files. With regards to root, it's not entirely true, you can still be root by issuing the command sudo -i . I don't think sudo cp /home/apple/orig.txt /home/boy/copy.txt will work? It works, you need not use sudo to copy files. Another question: isn't sudo a security risk in a computer with many
users if user Apple can remove or reconfigure a program that user Boy installed?
Not as dangerous as being root, you can define in the sudoers list what your users can do and not do. HTH -- http://jangestre.wordpress.com
