This is not a very good solution, but it's worked well enough for me. Just add the user in question to the "root" group. Note however that I feel obligated to tell you that what you're wanting to do is a Very Bad Idea (tm). :) I've done it in the past as well, but sudo is a much better alternative. If they don't want to use sudo before every command just have them use "su" once then. :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
