[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 745850, member: 38864"] Nope, root is the "superuser" id. Logging in as root is ill-advised unless you are very clear and very sure of what you are doing. Many of the security features and warnings that one typically sees in a regular or admin user are not active. It is very easy to render your system unusable when logged as root. I'll check out that screen shot later... I can't view attachments from work. If I have any new ideas, I'll post back then. [/QUOTE]
