I was not suggesting that you should nor was I speaking of the sudo command. If you find yourself using su to change users (root, mail, news, ohahm, gary, etc.) then it's advisable to append a dash. Naturally, the users above are not present in maemo but if you pick up a bad habit from one command line it's likely to follow you elsewhere.
