10.7: Mount AFP volume with root bug
I log in as root to compile images for Jamfs Casper Suite. If you do not login as root you have to enter password each time a new package is called up to be installed. If you log in as root you do not. This way I can start the compile and walk away. Also sometimes it can take hours to compile an image with a lot of packages and needs to run over night, am I going to login in from home and put in the password each time an app is run, I do not think so. This is why I log in as root, Also the net boot image that is used to image a mac, needs to be logged in as root for the imaging process to work correctly.

Hm... I'm not familiar with that one, but it seems like you might have some luck running the Jamfs software as root on a non-root login. Just open a terminal window and do something like sudo /Applications/JamfsThingy.app/Contents/MacOS/JamfsThingy
(where you'd obviously put in the right class to the admin app). Should solve the problem of prompting for a password every time. The second one sounds more complicated.

I think the reason most people are scared of root is the same situation as a person being scared of guns. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. ---
