Didn't the previous root give you a stack of books and say "guard these with your life"? The Vendor's User's Manuals are the most valuable books that a root can have. It contains everything that you need to know about administering your system. Usually they provide a convenient program for adding users and changing passwords etc. O'Reilly's "UNIX in a Nutshell" is also a handy reference to have. They also have vendor specific versions of this book. -- Weiqi Gao weiqigao AT a DOT crl DOT com
