When I took over the position I was not left with any documentation on how to manage the system, nor do I have any unix experience. I have urgent need of answeres to the following 3 questions. 1) How do I change an existing users password? 2) How do I delete old accounts no longer required? 3) My account name does not have SU access, I am presently using the old administrators login. How do I promote myself to super user. Many thanks in advance.
