Even 15 seconds of thinking is enough to understand that logging to other user and then su - gives completely no extra security. And yes - i do log as root by "insecure" rsh and telnet. The only think you should be aware is to not do it when connection is from outside and insecure. This case i actually don't use even ssh if it's not mine computer. How can i be sure that ssh is secure, but keylogging isn't installed?
