The intention of this topic was to get people thinking about how/when
they enter their root password - and there are a range of risks and
solutions, such as checking the machine for hardware key loggers or not
putting their password into popups under any circumstances - and for the
more concerned users, the red hood (ignoring everything else in the URL
above), smart cards and other options are an extension of this topic.
