I'm not entirely certain what you mean by "most privileges" but if you add a new user and make them a member of the wheel group, they can then "su" to have super-user privileges.

To do this, use:

Code:

adduser username -m -G wheel -s /bin/bash

If you want to add the user to other gropus, just add the name of the group after wheel and separate the groups with a comma (ie. wheel,users,games).
