Description Rebecca Schulman 2001-09-10 00:45:20 UTC
I can imagine this being really irritating. 

However, what is the user level for "root" the first time it gets run?
It'd be nice if it would be same as for the primary user for the machine,
but it's hard to know who that is.  

You could run the first time druid for root, which doesn't seem to happen right
now, and let a user set a user level then.  Only non experts could get a warning
about the dangers of being root.

This should probably be some sort of preference.

When we get around to doing the big preference move, I'll work this in 
somewhere.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2002-03-01 06:57:51 UTC
We never show the "root warning" anymore.
Closing this bug as fixed.
