assumes the user is root because it lives in /sbin is fundamentally
broken. The LSB doesn't mandate this (at least, not anywhere I can see),
so I propose that we just do it.

Anyone opposed to such an action?


Not at all,

I've been consistenly changing /etc/profile todo exactly this since the day I started using RH 4.0

Isn't that more or less the same reason most windows users login as administrator - The convenience?

Note: I know the security risk in the two examples are not in the same ball-park, so there's no need to lecture me on that.

I'm merely speaking of convenience and how it sometimes makes it feel right to do the wrong thing.
