Dear friends ,
I use my Linux from a long time and most of time like a root . If you
(mr. Donald) give commands which are dangerous for your system is your problem.
I know what I'm doing when press Enter after a command.
For my question I don't receive a right answer. I don' t think it's a
big mistake to make some changes to a project logged as root. I have thinking
to a way to map the local user ( root ) to another user on server . Maybe this
is possible but nobody give me a solution. Of course the easyest (to login as
other user) was in my mind but I look after other solution.
Anyway thanks for your (help) !
