This whole list is a life preserver. :)
Tip: don't do your work as root. Create a login, even if it's just you
on the machine, and do stuff as it.
(You're sending mail to the list as 'root'. Thus, you're probably at
LEAST doing your basic mail as root. Too many permissions. Using a
non-root account is the most basic of the life preservers. )
