Sure. But since *nobody* *ever* works with root privileges, that should
so the trick, right? ;-)
Ahem. With the "security improvements" which Apple gave us, effectively
*anyone* who happens to be in the admin group has root privileges.
Perhaps I have overlooked something pretty important, but still seems to
me it would be infinitely better to have one can-do-anything root account
with highly secret and carefully chosen password, than to have (with
standard installation) the normal working account with its necessarily
sloppy password (we are just people all, ain't we?) to be able to do quite
anything too (albeit not that easily, but the difference's negligible).
