	Superuser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On many computer operating systems, superuser is the term used for the special user account that is controlled by the system administrator.
		Software defects which allow a user to "gain root" (to execute with superuser privileges code supplied by that user) are a major security issue, and the fixing of such software is a major part of maintaining a secure system.
		By default, there is a superuser named Administrator, although it is not an exact analogue of the Unix root superuser account.

	Toor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Unix, it is traditional to keep the root filesystem as small as reasonably possible, moving larger, fancier programs and rapidly-changing data to other, optional parts of the system.
		It also means that the superuser account, necessary for repairing a broken system, should not depend on any programs outside of this small core.
		This is valuable, since if the system administrator did not intend for a second superuser account, then it may mean that the system has been compromised.

	Superuser Instructions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The superuser functions are neither visible nor available to moderators who are not the superuser.
		The Moderator Manager is a superuser function that allows the addition and removal of moderator accounts, the changing of a moderator's e-mail address, or the changing a moderator's password.
		The Group Manager is a superuser function that allows the removal and creation of groups, as well as the addition and removal of moderators to and from groups.

	Superuser (root) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Everyone using the computer should be aware that a person with superuser privilege can read all files on the system and monitor user interactions with the system.
		Superusers are instructed not to snoop in the directories or files of individual users.
		Nevertheless, it is occasionally necessary for superusers to read such files incidental to crash recovery, system maintenance, and tuning in dealing with abuses of the system.

	Superuser is System Manager (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		On UNIX this special user is known as superuser or root (not to be confused with the root directory).
		Superuser can override file security and do almost anything she wants on the system (she cannot see your password, since it is encrypted, but she can change it).
		It is not good practice for the system administrator to always logon as superuser.

	Yee-King: SuperUser: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		So while SuperUser features loads of chopped-up, processed beats that often seem to have little to do with the underlying music, it usually manages to groove and move.
		And "Werkit," the most flat-out lovely track on SuperUser, blends a melancholy sample of backwards guitars (it's hackneyed, I know, but I'm a sucker for those) with an electro-style drum break, in which the percussion is processed to sound something like a human beatbox.
		SuperUser may not be a wholly original offering, but I find myself moving in place every time I listen to it.

	Superuser
		The su command (substitute user) allows you to take on another user identity; if su is entered without specifying a username, it allows you to become superuser (assuming that you have the superuser password).
		If you are already logged in, you are more likely to exit from the superuser account back to your own account when you are finished the administration activities.
		If you su to the superuser account, a log entry shows the time, date and username of the person who su'd to root.

		Users who are expected to do jobs that require some of the capabilities of superuser assume a role that includes the appropriate rights profile.
		Superuser then assigns the roles to users who are trusted to perform the tasks of the role.
		Instead of requiring superuser capabilities to use an application or command, you can isolate the command with execution security attributes in a rights profile.

	Getting Started - Superuser
		When the board is initially set up, the "superuser" is the only moderator that exists on the system.
		Discus is structured so that only the superuser can add topics to the top page (this allows you to keep the top page orderly).
		Because buddy is an ordinary moderator and not the superuser, he can't access any of the "Superuser" functions such as the Board Manager, the Moderator Manager, or the Group Manager.

	The Root User (Superuser)
		The root user, also known as the superuser, is a special user who can operate without restriction on a Freedom server.
		To become the superuser, you must be a member of the wheel group.
		If for some reason you need to allow another user account to become the superuser, you would need to make them a member of the wheel group by editing the /etc/group file as the superuser.

	Who or What is the superuser/root (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For example, you must be logged in as the superuser to stop the system.
		To log in as the superuser, you must know the superuser password.
		This is important because the superuser has unlimited access to all files, and it is possible to remove or modify a file that is vital to the system.

	Superuser.net - Ouch - Webmaster Forum
		After a number of refusals by Superuser Networks, I advised them that I would be preparing documents for submission with the National Arbitration Forum.
		For someone who claims to be a business to make a page about a former customer just because the customer posted a few of the emails THEY themselves sent baffles me. Most of what he does baffles me. I used to think he just had poor customer service.
		For the record, Derek Gogol of superuser networks, the police did contact me. And they were pretty much annoyed at having to deal with the situation.

	[Chapter 1] 1.24 The Superuser (Root) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The system administrator should be very careful about giving out the superuser password and can't be blamed if he won't give the superuser password to anyone.
		Historically, UNIX systems have tended to be very lax: at many sites, all the users know the superuser password and don't hesitate to use it whenever they have the slightest problem.
		Common as it may be, this is a very bad practice - systems where everyone knows the superuser password have no security whatsoever.

		In addition to being able to have nearly unlimited infobots by simply adding text files to a directory, you can also redirect mail for everyone in your domain by simply modifying a text file.
		Note that with the exception of the description of using Eudora, the commands you are told to type in this section assume you have logged on to the Superuser Networks server with telnet or rlogin.

	The Superuser Account (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This is because the superuser, unlike normal user accounts, can operate without limits, and misuse of the superuser account may result in spectacular disasters.
		User accounts are unable to destroy the system by mistake, so it is generally best to use normal user accounts whenever possible, unless you especially need the extra privilege.
		You should always double and triple-check commands you issue as the superuser, since an extra space or missing character can mean irreparable data loss.

		Once marked for termination, the process is terminated by the Perforce server within 50000 scan rows or lines of output.
		Under some circumstances (for example, a Windows machine is rebooted while certain Perforce commands are running), entries may remain in the process table even after the process has terminated.
