Yeah, running with full privileges solves _so_ many problems! No more need to 
introduce privilege-gaining code into the overflow hack code! No more hacking 
passwords (just set your own:) And you can easily open a backdoor on a 
privileged port that doesn't get blocked by routers and firewalls (like port 22 
for example).

Guys! There are _very_ good reasons to _not_ run as root full-time. And there 
is an amazing amount of work done by devs to make realtime audio work like a 
blizz for non-root users. For your and my safety: MAKE USE OF THAT AND DON'T 
RUN AS ROOT FOR ANYTHING THEN SYSTEM-ADMINISTRATION!

Have a nice day,

Arnold
