On FreeBSD, by default: root::0:0::0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh toor:*:0:0::0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root: ie. root's account is null-passwd'd and toor account is de-activated. > Does toor own any files on the system, by default? Files are "owned" by uid. Since root and toor accounts share the same uid, toor owns basically the same files as root, even if ls and friends will show the files as owned by root probably because it's the first in the db (?). Basically, from what I understand, root and toor accounts are the same, apart from the shell. A. -- La sémantique est la gravité de l'abstraction.
