Hey Fellows,
Please don't think we are arrogant, this seem to indicate we are dumb. Why do
you think there is a root?
We also do use user for such things as mutt, fetchmail, qmail and procmail at
medium level security. The only time root is generally used is for
configuration, installation and any other necessities. I must say configuration
does not come to often and certainly not for five weeks after installation for
7.0 unlike 7.1.
