CAUTION | |
-------------------------------------------------------- | |
You are using a root user which is not a recommended | |
practice as those users have the potetial to cause | |
severe damages to the systems under many circunstances. | |
For being the most privileged accounts on Unix/Linux, | |
their use have to be restricted and avoided at all costs. | |
Every single command/program a root user fires inherites | |
its powerful permission on the system. That means that if | |
you fire a wrong command when logged as a root user or if | |
the program you're using does something it shouldn't for | |
any reason (a bug, an exploitation), it won't have any | |
restriction on what it could affect. Moreover, if you, | |
for any reason, let a system logged with a root user | |
without supervision, someone can have full power over it, | |
being able to cause damage on purpose or accidentaly. | |
