Other Help Topics :: How can i convert "dsl" user to superuser?

Hi, i need do the "dsl" user with the same privillegies as "root" (superuser)... that is because when i am the "dsl" user i cant do ping or another things, also when i install .dsl packages, only can use them as "dsl" user, and i need be "dsl" user but with root privillegies for do another things... can you help me? what i need?? whats the command? or something?

open the application in a terminal as root.
example:

Code Sample

sudo su
beaver

no, you dont understand... i dont want open applications as root... i wanna promote the user "dsl" as super user but forever... i want the "dsl" as another root privilledges user...

If I now understand you correctly, I think that's pretty much anti-Linux philosphy...
Linux is set up to protect itself by not allowing anything to be operated as root without it being a conscious decision each time.

I agree with doobit. Making your regular user run with root power is opening your system up to vulnerabilities not only from remote sources, but from your own mistakes....one typo can destroy your system.

DSL isn't the most secure distro, but it has a happy medium, and that is the ability to run any command as root, without a password, simply by typing "sudo <command>". If you want a particular command to run as root every time, make an alias....
alias command='sudo command'
