How Do I Create A Linux Super User? I Am Using SuSE Linux 9.1,
And I Am The Root Account. Where Do I Go To Set Up A Super User Account For Myself?

I could be mistaken, but I believe you just need to make the user a member of the root group. It's been awhile since I've had to mess with the user settings.

Still vague. Give an example.

You shouldn't be running anything but a small number of programs as root.

when i click the camelon in SuSE, and try to open almost any type of executable program, it wont do anything, with the exception of a few programs. I can run all of these programs with my other account, but my other account will not run downloaded software. It says it cannot run because of a security reason...

Which other accounts?

You can run it with root, but not with your regular account? I'll assume that.

What programs are you trying to run? Most applications should work just fine without root access.

Why is this in game programming? Am I missing something here?

You're correct. I didn't even notice that. This should be moved to Everything Unix.

Are you sure the execute permissions are set correctly?

Is this a rhetorical question or are you just dense? The OP either didn't realize this was the wrong forum, or meant to post in General Programming but posted here on accident.

There's almost no reason to use your root account unless you need to either install software (often times make and make install will not work unless you are root), make changes to conf files, add new users, setup a firewall, etc.

I have three user accounts that I use, and if I need to do something as root I just su root. sudo is ok as well, but I find switching into the root account to be easier.
