*** I couldn't sit still so I went on messing around with the script. At
this point it works, but I still would like to get feedback if it's done
according to the rules. This is the solution I found:
********* The script *********************
#!/bin/sh
'/usr/bin/id -un'=USER
if [ "$USER" = "zokiphoto" ]; then
### commands ###
elif [ "$USER" = "root" ]; then
### commands ###
else
### exit message ###
exit 1
fi
Is it okay?
