I agree with your initial comment, they can both be changed. I also agree they both do little. I don't agree that the hardcoding in the source does anything for you.
Well, it *allows* you to change the ID of the superuser account to something else. But of course that is obfuscation, and is quickly discovered (just check what ID owns /bin/* and so on). Nevertheless, you have the *ability* to change the ID. You can't do that with Windows. (Yeah, cheap shot I know... ;) Cheers, Frank
