Subject: Root User ID
Date: 10 Jan 1993 23:54:15 GMT

I have a program that checks for the "Root User ID" to make sure it isn't
zero. (Dunno why, but...) Anyway, in the standard SLS install, the root
user was assigned the ID of 0, daemon 1, etc.. etc... Is there any way
that I can reassign the user ID of root or maybe give it a different number
in /etc/passwd? Or do I have to change my software to allow the root as
ID 0.
  
Thanks

Albion
