Tony - Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't seem to work.  The file,
/etc/group, contains a line - root:x:0:root.  I added my user name to this
like so - root:x:0:root,glenn.  But I am still unable to copy a file from my
home directory to another user's home directory while logged in as glenn.
Anything else I need to do?  Have I misunderstood root equivalence?  Thanks.
-Glenn.

Edit /etc/group and add the user to the group "root".
