Yes, this is a feature.  Log on as a user and su to root.  Experienced
people say that you should never log on as root.  IMHO this is a bit
paranoid; as long as you stay logged in for the bare minimum it isn't a
problem.  Of course, a) the whole point of that level is to *be* paranoid, and
b) I'm not a sysadmin (ie person paid to be paranoid).

HTH  :)
