Can't get over how cool firefox is

i would consider super user and root login the same, but yes.

Thank you for confirming that, but the confirmation was not needed.

SUID does not imply the user being 'root.' I can change the root username to 'foo.' As long as it as a UID of 0, that implies it's SUID.

In fact, you can setup aliases to the user root, where multiple users can share UID 0.

I think anyone using a linux system knows what root login is regardless of the name, its the same thing, and everyone knows what you're reffering to.

And anyone who does run an executable they got from www.whoknowswhere.com as SUID deserve to get their system totalled.

I ran a long perl command someone gave me as root not a good idea - tried to delete /*

or another time when rm -rf ~r[tab] just happened to delete the /root directory instead of the intended one.

aaahh.. we've all had our bad [stupid] experieneces havn't we?

.. atleast I hope it's not just me

Time to find that Windows CD, if it still exists.
