I'm a newbie, and I've been logging on as root every time on my single
user system.  After all, I'm the "administrator" when I'm running Win
NT.  But maybe the danger is a lot greater in Linux.

I'm doing quite a bit of RPMing as I play with all the available
goodies.  I also stay in X just about all the time; I guess I can su
with xterm, but how do you "un-su"?
