root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/sh
toor:*:0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/home/jason:/usr/local/bin/bash

Note that I have set the home directory for toor to be the same as my home
directory. This is very convenient as it lets me keep a common environment
through .bashrc for 'jason' and 'toor'.

I don't use .bashrc of .bash_profile to do anything adminstrative. Still,
I am wonder what unforeseen pitfalls might exist. Is this setup insecure?
Is it a bad idea in general?
