I strongly disagree. I always SSH in as root. I have no use for artificial restrictions and the mythology about running as root. I'm and expert and when I want to get real work done I don't want the OS restricting me. In fact - make of the servers I run only have a root user and nothing else.

If you don't know how to run as root you shouldn't get a command line at all.
