You NEED to be root for some things... Creating accounts comes to mind. If
you are smart, you wont "rm -rf /*". "adduser bob" and "rm -rf /*" arnt
verry close. Pull the message out of gmc and put it into its own program.
Then for the people who know what they are doing can remove the message by
removing it out of the session. The people who know what they are doing
dont see an anoying message, and the people who dont, get a nice warning
message. If a user knows enough to pull the message out of the session,
then they know enough not to mess up.
