OK, this latest discussion about logging in as root got me thinking. I'm
fairly new to Linux. Occasionally, when I need to set up something (as
an example, my recent DNS questions) I will need to edit a config file,
and restart the daemon. I usually start by logging in as myself, then
issue individual 'su [command]' commands. After a while, I get tired of
typing in the root password over and over, so I just issue a simple 'su'
and work as root from there.
Should I be taking a different approach?
