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".
