Hi,

I'm doing a project in which I'm trying to establish a connection between a client (Linux) and a server (Windows), in whom I need to execute the daemon to connect. For execution of my program I need to be root.

Thanks.

I do have a group called root. There isn't any user assigned to this
group, so I don't really have any user with those privileges. I have a
user called "administrador" and I have also a group called
"administradores" with ID 544, but the user "administrador" haven't this
ID assigned, it have ID 513. How can I create a root user or something
similar to have root privileges to execute the daemon?

Patricia,

Before asking how you can create a root user, why not tell us what you're
trying to achieve (i.e., which daemon you want to execute and why you
think it needs a root user).
