    use sudo.

    Subject: User with same permissions as root

    Hi List!

    How do I make a user that has the same permissions as root?
    Is that possible?
    If not, then what can I do to make a user with as many rights as possible,
    like root?

    What I need to do is to run IBM TAPM, and I hear people say that I need to
    run it as 'administrator' on windows. And that works fine.
    Now I just need to do the same on AIX.

    Yours sincerely
