Re: Securing the root account

[Lars Fredriksen]

Hi cameron, The short answer is that yes you can. The name is really not that important, it is the userid that is associated with a name that is used for verifying permissions etc. You can easily create a login name "cameron" that is assigned userid 0, and that user will have root privileges.
