Well to put it bluntly, it's at *best* idiotic to run as root for
day to day usage of unix. Your asking for a world of hurt when
you do a 'rm -rf /' accidently, or any number of other things that
root can do that will *KILL* your system. Change the way you are
working. There is a very good reason that cvs doesn't let you commit
as root, which is the very same reason that you shouldn't run as root
unless you have to. Running as root all the time is like holding a
gun to your head, spinning the chambers and then pulling the trigger
every time you input a command. You are going to burn yourself
( or at least put a very large hole in your head, metaphorically speaking
of course )
