- 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
