Hi Managers,

I need to create a user id with root permissions( uid as 0 ), for one of
my user.(as it's a temporary). I did the following,

# useradd -o -u 0 -d /export/home/xyz -m xyz

It's working fine. But the thing is when the xyz user issues the command
id it shows
# id
uid=0(root) gid=1(other)

But it is not showing his original username as xyz. I have tried id -a
also. So, how can I overcome it, he should not know that he is a root
user.

thanks & regards,
Sridhar A
