Why would you want to do that? Just add him to the wheel group so he can login as root.Originally posted by MadCatComment

jesus. look, install sudo so at least you have a log of what this user does. You should only have to login as root in case of emergency. Everything else, you should really be using sudo. You can specify what commands a user can run with sudo in the /etc/sudoers file.
run commands such as :
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start
it will prompt for your login pw, and run the command as root. And it will LOG to /var/log/messages||syslog||sudo.log. So if your user fucks something up, you can look at the log and see what he does. Without process accounting or the like, you'll never know, as command histories are easy to overwrite with mutliple sessions.Comment
