10.3: Yet another method of enabling root
Authored by: zojas on Mar 10, '04 11:03:20PM
I have another reason to use the root account: I wanted to use RsyncX to copy something from the /Library directory on my ibook to my wife's ibook. I needed it to run as root on her ibook so everything would be written with the correct ownership & permissions (and resource forks). her machine is named 'sprite':
sudo rsync -uav --eahfs dir 'root@sprite:/Library/Application\ Support/'
I love rsync!
