The principles of linux are being explioted by Lindows, (by that i mean) get everyone to operate as root, before you know it linux will be just as vunarable as Windows, then windows gets it market share back again because we will see more and more users reading mail as root, then in turn we we have more and more mail viruses that can and will be spread via root/linux systems. What Elias wants is a protentioal security hole in his system by asking for a "root autologin". There maybe such things, but i cannot see the point of them, linux is all about security, where are the old days gone when even the word root was out of order in a conversation.
