Hi list,
I need a second superuser as a service account.
When I add a user and change his uid:gid entry in
/etc/passwd to 0:0 this user can act as superuser.
System is a SuSE 8.2
The problem is, when I add another user through yast
yast seems to remove the superuser account that has
been there before creating a second one (root in 
that case)
I forgot to add it only gets removed in /etc/passwd
the entry in /etc/shadow is still there
