set uid to root

# set user jsmith uid 0

I don't like setting the user to the root UID. I think Check Point made a mess of the auth permissions as they have in the past. Without setting the root uid above, a user can't run fw commmands like "fw stat".

error:

/opt/CPshrd-R75.40/tmp/.CPprofile.sh: line 96: /opt/CPcvpn-R75.40/scripts/CVPNprofile.sh: Permission denied
# ls -l /opt/CPcvpn-R75.40/scripts/CVPNprofile.sh

I will investigate adding the users to the bin group. Also, I will add them to the users group. The users group needs to be added to /etc/ssh/sshd_config "AllowedGroups" line. All check point allows there is the root group. Go figure. Sounds insecure to me.
