I think somethings wrong because even when I log on root locally on

I am logging in as root when the machine boots up. I'm aware of the

may be a way to change it, but I don't reccomend it. Configure a user
account to be able to use the su command or install sudo, then log in
remotely as a user then su or sudo for administrative tasks.
