If I understand you want a "login" generic account and an "admin" account?...
The log on account can't do everything and is shared for all users, but should your little bro try and delete everything on the drive a prompt for Admin access ("UAC") is presented???
Hey little bro's (and kids) can ;D
Just do the same as torreydale specified...
1st account is the sudo account ("your" account) then create a 2nd account not in sudo - use this for logging in or auto log this account.
Whenever something needs elevated access it will prompt for a password (root access) - the 1st account
Now not 100% sure but, should sudo "su" be used in this scenario to invoke the "root" prompt or to switch?.. *I can't say for sure how this will/would/should work in Linux, as I'm still new and I just have the one account... But maybe another can correct me or explain further..??..
sudo=root access which is Admin access..
