is it not a security problem to know the name of su on a system to get

create a real user and add that user to group root in /etc/group
don't go any further than that.
if you are a risk taker, just use root. but as i said, extremely
bad security practice.
is there a reason for it?

Hi
can anyone tell me how to rename the root user?
I'd like to have only a root user but with another name?
Thanks
