make user equivalent to root

[Eric Hagen]

One other option Mike is to just change the user ID to 0 for all three
users.  That however can lead to problems in the future such as upgrade
problems.  At least I have seen problems in HP-UX when a system was set up
like that.

The other option is make the three users part of the sys group, and open
up the permissions on the firewall config files to allow that.
