Training oneself not to run things as root is one benefit of sudo, so that you don't mess up when you go to another machine.
2. Not logging into X as root is another benefit. Running a single X client/app as root is different than running all of X as root. 3. Logging, provided by sudo, is not merely for the sake of knowing who did what; sometimes it's for who did what when, etc. I'll grant that there may be considerably less reason to use sudo on a single-user machine, but to claim that there is "*NO* benefit of sudo" is simply incorrect. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
