And the truly lazy can just make a bash alias/function to turn this into
"s", or something. And yes, laziness is a subject I am more than qualified
to speak about: startx -> x, mcedit/kate -> e, most/less -> v, ls -la -> d,
etc, etc. :)
However, I arrived at Ubuntu the hard way, by an in-place upgrade from
Debian, so my root has always been enabled. How does Ubuntu "disable" it?
Modify root's line in /etc/passwd in some way, or by some option in
login.def, or some pam thing?
