Hello, I've been looking at the /etc/group and have noticed that some groups have root included in them, for example "operator". Is it not implied that root has access to all things and groups? What is the purpose of adding root to a group? If I add root to some new arbitrary group, what does it result in differently than if I do not add root to that group? Answers & suggestions appreciated, Khelp
