it is best practice but the linux from scratch book says that:

so I am thinking I should su to root but am unsure:-)~MIKE~(-:On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 3:29 PM, Stephen Partington <cryptworks@gmail.com> wrote:BEst practices rely on the use of SU and Sudo/SUdoers to perform any of the elevated tasks. This prevents any unrecognized code from getting away from you. this includes root not being able to log in under most circumstances and especially via ssh.
