Though it starts to get annoying having to type in the password, again, every few minutes as the password caching expires. Or, having to do something else to keep authentication before it self expires. I do see the user-interest in being able to login ONCE as root, and not have to authenticate again, as you spend a few minutes setting up network, then a few minutes setting up DNS, then a few minutes setting up printing, then a few minutes setting up users, etc., etc. But once past the initial set-up, managing administration as yourself, and occasionally typing in a root password when required, isn't too cumbersome. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
