If:
1) I am running a relatively fast machine (no vaxen here)
2) I am not worried about forgetting the root password or corrupting
root's shell
3) The box is not production and can be taken into single user mode w/o
impacting much of anyone

would the toor account have any useful purpose, or can I just blow it
away?

Bonus question:  Are the root restrictions (ie no tty login, no console
login, no ssh login) and logging automatically relevant to toor, or do I
need to configure all that stuff explicitly for toor?

Thanks,

Matt
