i'm surprised emacs fanatics aren't taking this as a thrown gauntlet. not disappointed, only surprised. :) -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux boss 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #40 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Why are ROOT LOGINS EVIL? The main problem is this: if you have a handful of trusted people who know the root password, you can't tell -- not just by looking in the logs -- which one logged in as root! But if you have them log in as themselves first, they can "su" or "sudo" to get root privileges, and then the logs will reflect who they actually are. To facilitate this, empty out /etc/securetty (see /etc/pam.d/login for info).
