It's not usually a good idea to do that.  Someone being root on one
machine is a risk for that machine.  But if they're also treated as root
across a network, that's even more so.

I can't imagine why root ownership of files ought to be involved in
the /home space, unless you've got someone running as root when they
really shouldn't do, and they're saving files in their homespace.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
