Hi:

Ive been meaning to get into Linux for quite sometime now, came across DSL an hour ago. Quick question, how do I log into an account after I create one and how do I give that account Root access? Appreciate any help

Got it after some help , for future reference edit sudoers with vi. If permission denied just do: sudo vi sudoers

Yes, I want a cookie

P.S. cookie is included in this handy cookie.sh i cooked up just now

#!/bin/bash
clear
cd /usr/kitchen/cookiejar
ls
echo "OH NO! only 1 cookie left!"
mkdir /usr/kitchen/newjar
if($cookie>1)
rm cookie
echo "burp"
else
echo "wait while I clone some more cookies, don't eat the last one!"
endif
while($cookie<10)
cp -f cookie /usr/kitchen/newjar/cookie
end
