Giving someone root access in linux is easy. Why would someone need to be root I don’t know but this is how you do it using the usermod command. To add root access [root@abika root]# id sys_admin<br /> uid=508(sys_admin) gid=508(sys_admin) groups=508(sys_admin)<br /> [root@abika root]# usermod -G root sys_admin<br /> [root@abika root]# id sys_admin<br /> uid=508(sys_admin) gid=508(sys_admin) groups=508(sys_admin),0(root) To remove root access. [root@abika root]# usermod -G sys_admin sys_admin<br /> [root@abika root]# id sys_admin<br /> uid=508(sys_admin) gid=508(sys_admin) groups=508(sys_admin)
