User Config

[Sony]

Ok I'm using Linux and I need to know how to set the user preferences because I need to give myself full access on a non-root account but I can't figure out how to do it could someone please help me. I'm using Mandrake 8.1

Thank you,
Sony

Full access is only available to the root user. Normal users cannot modify system files. There is only one superuser. Just make yourself an account. Why do you need full access?

you can use su to change to root w/o logging off and back on

Try:

su -c "<command name>"

When you want to run a command as root. It will prompt you for the password and is safer than being root all the time.
