What I'm looking for.... Let's say there are two logins on a FreeBSD machine. On ttyp0 is root, and user fred is logged in on ttyp1. Fred can't su to root because he's not in wheel, and he doesn't/won't know the root pass. Assuming I'm logged in a root, I'd like to be able to "bless" fred from my ttyp0 and 'upgrade' his login to root. Is this feasible or programatically realistic? Is there such a tool? What would need to get changed to make this happen? Thx. --------------------------------------------------- Mark Rekai - INetU, Inc.(tm) - http://www.INetU.net Electronic commerce - Web development - Web hosting Mark@INetU.net - Phone: (610) 266-7441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
