granting users root permission

[Serge Fonville]

Hi,

From what I read on RBAC etc., it seems to me it would be possible to

create a root-like user.
That can for example do usermod, roleadd etc.

How would I do that?

Since copying the root line from user_attr to the new user and adding
defaultpriv=all does not do it.

I need to make it Primary Administrator and use pfexec.

Is it possible to create a user with the same permissions as root?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards/met vriendelijke groet,

Hi Ignacio,

Thanks for your answer.

That works great.

Unfortunately, while trying this out.
I noticed that when I type whi and press tab, instead of being
completed to which
it completes to /usr/gnu/bin/which.
When I do who. it shows multiple paths.

echo $SHELL does show /usr/bin/bash.

Is it possible to restore the normal behaviour?
How is the profileshell different from a normal shell?
Also, what more differences are there?

Now the system tells me I'm root.

whoami shows root
touch creates as root
I read about ruid and euid, I was hoping that this would be possible
