It is a simple manor of stopping you from shooting your self in the foot. if you log in as root, there will be no warnings to you from doing such things as deleting core frameworks and the like. (this is from experience) Also, not running as an administrative user to do everyday tasks like email would keep you from being infected with trojans (there exist dangerous mac malware!) without at least SOME input from you. enabling the root password has been easiest way for me to use macports but thats me. -- "lalalalala! it's not broken because I can use it" http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=194281&threshold=1&commentsort=0&m...
