Thanks guys, i think i'll go for the "set a root pw and remove sudser" method. It'll take a while to kill the "sudo" reflex!

Note that you cannot use "su" because it's not suid, and you cannot make su suid because su is actually a link to busybox and *you don't want to make busybox suid*.
reinob, do you think you could expand on this a bit - it sounds interesting. I've never looked into suid and sudo etc. on ubuntu in any great detail, but i'd like to understand the different configurations if i can. If we installed a full (non-busybox) version of su on maemo and made it suid, could that work?
