I am interested to know, how many of you, actually use a non-root account to get work done. Since there is so many risks of constantly using a root account, how in the world are you supposed to get work done without being logged in as root??
For example, most of my bash scripts that I write, require the use of certain files, which, if not ran as root, would require me to run numerous chmod/chgrp commands to get them to run.
How have people, gotten around this??
Hi Thomas, Have you investigated (1) "su -c [command]" and (2) man sudo ? Between the two you can get a lot done without logging in as root. Geoff _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
