I've set everything to YES or whatever in ftpaccess. I gave myself
all rights. I set my home directory to /root
I can download just about anything but I can't delete anything not in
my home directory and I can't write any files.
I would really like to do some things remotely.
Thanks!

Actually, I solved the problem by changing the userid and groupid of
my account in the passwd file to 0 and 0. Works great now!

1. user getting some "super user" access?
I just installed RH 6.1 on my PC. During the installation process, I
created a user account. I have two questions:
1) When I login as a user, the user has shutdown rights. I thought only
the root had that access. What file controls this access?
2) I noticed that the user is also able to mount and umount the floppy
drive and CDROM. However, in the /etc/fstab file, the access is limited
to: noauto,owner for both devices. I thought that the access had to
have: user in the access for a user to be able to mount the device?
When I create another mount point for the zip drive, I limited the
access to notauto,owner and the user can't mount the device. Where is
RH linux letting the user mount the CDROM and the floppy drive?
thanks,
Mike
