In practice the root user shouldn't be able to login directly and users 
should use sudo for that. But FreeBSD doesn't do this setup yet. I have 
my system setup that root is disabled and sudo only works with that. 
This way you can limit users to certain cmds such as user Lisa can 
shutdown but user bob can't, su well any user in wheel can shutdown 
etc.. You are of course entitled to do as you wish with your box and 
it's a pita how programs force this but it's for your own good.
