The Root User

The Root user is the all powerful user on the system. If a cracker was to take control of the root user they would have full control of the system.

Most commands should be run as a regular user, as the limits on regular users can protect the system. But for certain purposes a user may need to take root privileges using the sudo, su and sg commands.
