Just a comment on that: Since most of our users will not know much about
computers, having them "exit"  will just add another step which they will
forget to do, and the one time they are logged in as root will be the one
time they rm -rf /

sudo in front of every as-root command is not too hard, right? Especialy
once we get paste working.
