How difficult would it be to configure my ALT Server 4.0 box to disallow 
'root' user log-ins and only allow a regular user log-in and then 'su' 
to the root account?

If easy enough to configure, how does this affect the web browser 
configurator interface?  Can you specify a regular user as the 
"administrator" to log in via the web interface?

David.
