Thanks for the info. Does there have to be a home directory for
the obligatory root account? The tone of the discussions I read was
that root user was an anachronism, and linux would be better without
it. That's only my interpretation, of course, so it could be wrong.
The home directory for root is /root.
I think the majority opinion now is that logging in as the root user is
discouraged. In almost all cases sudo is sufficient and if you need to
do root things for a while, just use "sudo -i". For remote access as
root, use keys.
