[QUOTE="MoltenLava, post: 44776"] Ok, here's the deal. Admin users are exactly the same as normal users, except for one thing. They are "sudoers". i.e. You can execute sudo and then become root, or the "super user". Non admin users can't sudo and become root. Without issueing sudo, admin users will have the same privilege as regular users. They won't be able to read files that they don't have permissions for. Be VERY careful when you do sudo. There is a reason why admin users don't have super user power all the time. It's very dangerous. One typo and you can kiss your system good bye. "sudo bash" is especially a very bad advice. Don't do sudo bash unless you know exactly what you are doing. What you want to do in this case is use the shared folder. You can use /users/shared or you can create another folder and give it 777 permission. (chmod 777 <folder name>). [/QUOTE]
