What signifies root is two things:<br />
1. The UID and GID is 0<br />
2. Root is allowed anything with minimal checks<br />
<br />
Setting up a second &quot;root&quot; with UID 0 will have effects on the current root.<br />
You can &quot;simulate&quot; root priviledges with sudo... just add a line like<br />
&lt;username&gt; ALL=(ALL) ALL<br />
and that user will be &quot;as good as root&quot; through the use of sudo (sudo fdisk /dev/sdb6 ... or whatever) as long as the user supplies valid credentials (his/her own password).<br />

Setting up a second "root" with UID 0 will have effects on the current root.
You can "simulate" root priviledges with sudo... just add a line like
<username> ALL=(ALL) ALL
and that user will be "as good as root" through the use of sudo (sudo fdisk /dev/sdb6 ... or whatever) as long as the user supplies valid credentials (his/her own password).
