Topicbox-Message-UUID: ff9176ea-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 Sometime I need to change files where the owner/group is adm or sys. I can add myself to this groups with uname adm +me. Is it usefull to use a separate account (meadmin) for administrative tasks or doesn't matter it? I don't wan't to introduce root again so what is the plan 9 way? Matthias
