Thread: Does root need to be part of any groups?

-

hello, have 2 questions regarding group membership in ubuntu.

noticed root not member of many, if any, groups. because doesn't need be? there loopholes if add root root group? or admin group? or others matter?

want disallow regular user account being sudo. remove user account admin group? there harm in adding root admin group?

thank everyone. ubuntu rocks!

adding root group pointless, because root can regardless of file permissions.

default users admin group allowed use sudo.

please check out: community/rootsudo

howto: sudoers configuration
