Why on Earth would u want to???
unless u have a really, really good reason to, don't bother and just have the

create since it makes available more priveleged accounts for malicious users
to "hack" and do whatever they please

Well, I have two superuser accounts on my system: root with default
shell "bash", and toor with default shell "sh". This is very common
usage on BSD systems -- if bash becomes corrupted or inaccessible, you
can login

When called as sh bash is about as standard as any. If you don't care for
bash you can always install ash, which is the NetBSD sh. If you link sh to
it you may break a few things, though.
Has anyone else noticed that the main (US) Debian servers have been
remarkably slow lately? Both trying to use the web site, and
ftp.debian.org for apt.
I've switched apt to a mirror, but the mirrors of the web site are
also so slow as to be nearly unusable?

FWIW, I think I would rather have "toor" (or a username of your choosing)
*not* have UID 0, and instead just be permitted to su to root if it
becomes necessary, while having a statically linked shell such as sash.
You can force a shell different from root's usual with the -s (or
--shell=) argument

If you're running potato then you'd probably want to use PAM and

You can put:

it returns the userid of the process, really the only thing that is

Anyone else is experiencing this problem? Here are the messages that X
gives me at startup
_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
failed to set default font path
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/
When I was playing with xfs, I never could get local unix sockets to
work vis-a-vis "/unix:7100". However, it worked using tcp as
"tcp/localhost:7100". xfs slows down the system though, so I went back
to direct path specification (don't use true type fonts).

I have a Debian box which has been rock-solid in the three years I've
been using it. Currently it's slink with the 2.0.38 kernel
(custom-compiled) and just a few extras in /usr/local. No other OS.
Until recently it had just 32MB of RAM. I added 64 more on
Saturday. Everything seemed fine to begin
LILO can only boot Opertive Systems located in primary partitions
(max 4) and located in the first hard drive that usually is "/dev/hda ".
