Re: automatic root login

Hi All,
    O.K., so you know the security implications of doing
this, but I am still dying to know WHY? Maybe you have an
application that the rest of us may not have thought about.
Maybe you have an application that the rest of us HAVE
thought about and maybe someone knows of a safer way. I
can't think of a reason you would want to do this, but that
doesn't mean there isn't one. TIA.
    Cheers!
        Andrew.
