Linux is a true multiuser operating system. Each file and process is owned by a specific user and is accessible to others based on group and world permissions. In this module you'll learn how to create, monitor and secure user accounts and control user processes. You'll also learn about the all powerful root account and how to use it for such tasks as resetting regular user's passwords.
