Another method to try and get you out of the habit of logging in as root when it is not needed:-))))))
Hehe. I have found I need it all the time. Whenever I log on as a regular user, I feel like a prisoner. So, by now, the only time I do that is when I reply to email. Otherwise, everyone would think my name was Charlie!
Such a bad habit! (or at least dangerous, i think :) At first I thaught regular user accout was restricting, but since I've learned that It's not that bad thing to have some back-up if you forget you aren't running dos, that doesn't allow you to kill your software with a single rm
Using "su" for logging as root is a good way to do things, but I think there's a better way: program from ports called 'sudo' It allows normal users to run programs as root with their own password, like: 'sudo reboot' would prompt for user's password and boot the machine.
