hi list
i want more than 1 root accounts in FC4, for example
user: root
user: must
user:azeem
all the 3 accounts should have the same root previligies to do
anything on the system
how it could be done
There are several techniques, but first, why? Perhaps it would
be better simply to give these three users the root password,
or put them into the sudoers file.
Anyway, perhaps the easiest way to do this is make them aliases
for user number 0.

making alias to 0, how it could be done?
and also the scenario is someone once changed my machine's root
password. now if i had another root account i could access my machine
and reset root password again
If this is all you want then I suggest you either use a
rescue CDROM like KNOPPIX, or, if you can't take the
downtime, then put those users into the sudoers file.
Making aliases for user 0 is not the optimal solution
to this problem. Using sudo is probably your best option.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
