You wouldn't get root access like that on the Unix machines I put in
System X. There is no root on them. You had to load an archive to get
root back and we never gave BT that.


Dear old Dennis.

If they didn't have root as an UID/GID they wouldn't run.

And you can always 'get root access' on Unix if you know what you are
doing.





you would be surprised what you can do when you have the source and
expert coders.
You obviously lacked one or both of them.
