You know, I posted a really cleverly obfuscated rm -rf / in /prog/ or /comp/ a while back -- I got it off Digg, and it utilizes the tr program to do its magic. It starts with '`echo' I think.
I'd really like to find it again, have you seen this boy?

Doesn't work. Which idiot would edit the sudoers file that a normal user could use the rm command?!

I work in root. System administration, but also development, Internets, and fappage (literal). I've working as root for years. Never had one single problem (by problem I mean I fuck up or something breaks for having root privileges). And I was never nagged with being denied access to something in my own machine or having to enter my fucking password OVER AND OVER AND OVER for fuck's sake.

I feel the same fucking way about it.
What's your favorite distro?

Since a few months ago I've been using Kubuntu since everybody was commenting how good it was, and I'm pretty happy with it. I had to set a password for the root account and enable it to log in from KDE, as they had it disabled.

sudo minimizes the threat of exploits that require the use of root privileges. unless you've verified the correctness of every single app running on the system, there is always that risk of a rouge app that will compromise the computer's integrity. of course, this isn't so critical for a home user but it is good if it can be avoided.
