      The point I’m trying to make is that having just one “super” account for everything is a very poor idea. A lot of work has gone into filtering access to the root account and very little into getting rid of the root account. Ideally nothing should run as root, it should run as individual accounts with varying levels of access on a need-to-have basis.

        "That’s* what you meant when you said this???

        I’ve always wondered why we even bother with SUID commands. Why not just log in as root?
