If you just must do it, you can change your /etc/sudoers .

something like this(i'm not on DSL so yours will look slightly different)

# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
dsl ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(NOPASSWD) ALL

EDIT: never mind, with this you would still have to use sudo but you won't be asked for passwords. i don't know what i was thinking, it just one of those days.

That's gross, I'd have said "I haven't made myself clear"

i dont want open applications as root... i wanna promote the user "dsl" as super user but forever... i want the "dsl" as another root privilledges user...

Modify /etc/passwd and change dsl user's id to 0. Put /etc/passwd in 'filetool.lst' and next time you login dsl user will magically become root. If this is what he wants and he's adult, what's wrong with that? Some people like to receive physical pain and I respect them.
