Good luck easily hacking over a GPRS connection. Make your password
longer than 6 characters, a ban after retry attempts, take it off port
22 and that will save 95% of attacks from script kiddies. (everything
I listed is controllable on sshd_config, I believe)
Just imho it helps, opinion and experience :)
But overall, I agree, but your privileges are only as safe as your
software.
(eg when you run a socket based process as root, you trust it.)
However, you make a good point :)
Kde and gnome take that precaution with gtk based Sudo when you login
as a normal user (at least in debian/ubuntu) and I like that method.

But as far as I understand it's not secure, esp. for a device with
wi-fi, bluetooth, gprs and running ssh daemon! Linux gives us a great
power of user privilegies management but we waste it. Woldn't it be
better to run everything as an unprivileged user, or at least ask for
password at first run time?
