Dear Sir/Madam, 
I am a newbie at linux. I am using redhat 5.0 .I am had a successful
install of it . Now this linux is running on a intel pentium box. 
I have a fright of forgetting the root password . I want to create  a
parallel user 
who has equal rights as root and can telnet from any terminal and
administer the box.The regular telnet facility already there. 
I have looked up commands such as uid , setuid, but still have no hint . 
So, please help me. I will be grateful for your help. Thanks in advance .
