I have "root user". How I give to other users the same privilege of
"root"? As I create another user with "id" of "root"? Using "smit" I
did not obtain to make this.

Look (i.e. google) for "sudo". It runs on AIX.

You can also create a "us-root" group and add the user in here, this will
allow all the users who are members of this group to us to root.

hi,

if I recall right, (anywhen back on AIX 4.1 or 4.2) it worked to add a
"1" "1" User to the passwd. I was able to log in with the myroot-ID, but
I got the root-id. the system didn't realise, that the root-PW was
changed by the myroot user and stil displayed the PW expired ... I won
nothing but trouble.


It's not a god Idea. I'd follow the other advice and look for sudo (
http://www.bullfreeware.com ) and do the job with it.

You seem not to recall right.
You probably mean a user with userid 0 and primary group 0.

What you recall right is that it is a bad idea :^)
