power user accounts

[johnnytenpin]

I want to create user accounts for me and two other admins so we are not logging in as root anymore! if i create accounts what groups should I add so that we will not have to 'su' often (i.e. security, shutdown... etc.)

Also, is their an easy way to date stamp the prompt? i have tried to run the 'date' command in .profile and .kshrc with no luck ( works but is not updated everytime you hit enter)

Thanks!

1) Try sudo on IBM's Linux Toolbox CD. It's also available for download here

2) There's a technique to manipulate Korn Shell's SECONDS variable to use to for display the current time in the prompt here.
