And then it tells me to use "su". So I rebooted and typed "su" but it asked me for a password. So I logged back on with "root" and moved to directory "/etc". There, there are files passwd and master.passwd. When I took a look inside, there were "root" "toor" "bill" and other names or words on the left side of the screen with other "things" next to each. What are these other things. I can understand why "root" would be there, but what about the others? please e-mail Sang Kim kims@panix.com
