vaporATX Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I notice no difference. Btw, running as root is a really bad idea. If you need a root shell use sudo -s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thks I'm gonna guess you mean the desktop coming up. By any chance do you have some preloaded apps or background services installed in your user account?

Alessandro17 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 anyone else notice this? No I haven't. I can't notice any difference. I always enable the root user in OS X, but I use it only on very rare occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headrush69 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 ok thks stupid question for Leopard where do I look for preloaded apps and services in Leopard? Well any of the icons in the dock that have the "Open at login" item selected are loaded on startup. Additionally in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items tab you can see background apps that run also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
