[QUOTE="babyface2059, post: 1153096, member: 180737"] Thanks for the info vansmith, but I think I'd rather not enable the root user. The ubuntu GUI solution involved making a new group (called "superadmin") and then making the usual admin group unable to disable other admins. And I might be stupid enough to want 2 admins but I'm not so foolish as to want the root user --- at least that's what I tell myself :) Thanks for the help, though! Here's an idea --- is there a way to grant some admin capabilities to a normal user (e.g., installing new applications)? That way I would have a single admin and then a semi-admin, the latter of which being able to install updates and games and whatnot. Or is that more wishful thinking? [/QUOTE]
