Just because someone doesn't "like" something, doesn't mean they don't
understand the need for it. It's a shame anyone *has* to deal with it
at all. I'd much rather *not have* to type a password when su'ing, but
the consequences of a password-less root are obvious. I don't like having
to take the extra time to do it, but the alternative is even less appealing.
