I need to setup a 2nd Admin account. How do I do it? I have tried making a couple of changes to the passwd & group files but no joy!

Thanks in advance

What kind of a Cobalt box are you using? AFAIK it's not possible on the raq3 and raq4.

What are you trying to achieve? There might be another way of doing it :)

Edit the control panel access files to allow the second admin account to enter it. Just put a restriction on editing the root/admin password from there :)
