Just a miscommunication:

To many people, the phrase "root access" means "the ability to run
commands as the 'root' user in a Unix environment. But you meant
"root" the directory (i.e., "/"), not "root" the user.

(By the way, this discussion probably belongs on users@, not dev@.)

Hope this helps,
