Because a number of things I do on my system require root privilages,
but since I don't feel happy doing normal things in root, I'd like to
have my system console automatically be logged in as root after the
system is through with rc. Since the console (as well as the system and
the only non-dialup terminal) is in my room, I don't feel that this is a
big security problem. Any suggestions how I can do this?
