Nope, AFAIK.

The Windows equivalent is normally "Administrator" or in some special cases
SYSTEM (this has ALL the powers posible).

But there's no difference running as Administrator (as i do normally) or
SYSTEM :(

Administrator has usually the necesary permissions to do anything (SYSTEM is
used in some especific situations)

Administrator@DELL6R6Q61J /usr/local/libexec
$ ls -al taper
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root None 577611 Aug 18 10:19 taper

Administrator@DELL6R6Q61J /usr/local/libexec
$


Tried with SYSTEM and Administrator as owner but no change.

If there's no reason appart from taper thinking it has no enough privileges:

Is there some way to fool/convince taper is running suid-root ? 

If there's a subtle need that taper needs to fulfill to run properly:

2.- Can I have a more verbose taper information, so i can get a workaround
or?

Thanks again :-)
