I've never had use for su apart from just switching users, I use it every time I start my computer in konsole to have my first tab as root in the same directory as my last session, my rpmbuild directory. I've never been asked for a password by konsole
Never? Not in any of the times you've used 'su"?
I would be very very worried f I was using a computer that let me su to root, be it in regular command line VT or in an xterm or using konsole without the use of the root password, unless I'd taken prior measures, such as modify the PAM setting, for example.
Nice. Autologin and off we go, as safe as Windows XP :=). Sure this needs manual interference. Stored the root password in kwallet? A security rule: do not save the root password of a machine anywhere on that machine.
