Re: Root Logins in X...

You will not be able to log in if your home subdirectory and/or its associated partition is full. Everytime you log in, it writes something, and if it can't... Well, unless you can log in as root, you are stuck.

Not sure how or why we would try to prevent utter stupidity!  I am firmly against forcing uses in any direction. 
Please just make it easy to switch back.

A root login on X is not nessaccary, in no situation (except the design of your installation is crap or you switch to init S and you have password based login enabled). But it cause big problems if you talk about audit and other nice security and controls. So for what reason should there be a root login in X. It is not even needed in a console. Everything could be done with normal user rights and escalation of privilegies on specific tasks.

Regars, Thomas
