Don't log in as root, give yourself a user account in group wheel and use "su" to become root for only as long as you need to be. This is much safer. I could for instance tell someone my root password and unless they had access to one of five accounts on my system in group wheel, it wouldn't do them any good at all. > > Please, sendme your comments, thanks for all!!!!!! bye!!!! =-) > > > root@guacari.udem.edu.co > Ben "You have your mind on computers, it seems."
