Hello,

Could somebody help me be THE superuser on my computer based on W98 ?

the only line I have in /etc/passwd is :
fernandez::500:544::/home/fernandez:/bin/bash

and in /etc/group :
unknown::544:

So, I can access, for example, to /usr/lib, but I can't see this directory when I launch "ls /"

Which means I only have user permissions.

Thanks for aswering and sorry for the noise, if you think it is.

bye
jo
