Hi, I was testing a thin client box and found that I could login as Root, Administrator and Admin (all with the same password). whoami indicated 'root' in all three cases. Is this some sort of aliasing going on? I may not be entirely correct on this but shouldn't the number of users with root privileges be restricted? What is your advice on this issue? Thanks in advance. Ganesh
