I'm trying to figure out how I can create a user who has administrative
privleges, but did not get them through the "equivilancies(SP!)" option.
I want to setup a user who is completely independant of the Admin user,
a user that could still function as an Admin if Admin's account got
hosed/deleted/etc...

Can someone PLEASE explain how this can be done? I'm a complete newbie
at Netware so I don't know my way around very well yet.

I'm running Netware 4.1

Give that user the Supervisor trustee right to root. In NWadmin
rightclick on ROOT, trustees, add...

Huh? I load NWAdmin and I don't see a ROOT object. There's the SERVER,
The users, and the volumes (netware41_sys, netware41_data).

You may need to change your context.
It is the very top object in your tree.

I dont think I can change context high enough that I'm outside of the
tree. Here's how my window looks: (forgive the crude ascii art)

There really should be a root object there... Hit backspace until it
prompts you to "Set Context", then Esc.
