This isn't matching your "from:" line on your email, why should I trust
it?

And doing kernel work as 'root'? That's not a good idea for lots of
reasons...

What happened to your Subject:?

And why is the whole git header in the email, please use git send-email
so that I don't have to hand-edit the body of the email to apply it.

Can you please fix this up and resend?

thanks,

Hi Greg,

I'll re do them tonight.

I didn't do the changes as root, I sent them from my server as it has SMTP out.

Thanks

Hmm, this gives me an idea. There's nothing, I believe, that makes the root user
have to have the name "root" except for the passwd file. Maybe I'll just
rename "root" to "walley" and then use "root" as my normal account. If anyone tries
to break into "root" they will just gain access to a normal account and nothing
more ;-)

/me goes back to hacking
