Hello Javier,
You create a new user with Digital Unix normal procedure (adduser).
Then edit /etc/passwd file and change the uid for this user to 0
(zero). This will make the new user, root equivalent. This new user
will have all privileges to write / read any files. I hope this would
solve your problem.
Good luck,
