This is scary! Root access from the dashboard using a tool that for all you know could be sending your IP Adx and root level password out the back door. Not saying this does anything of the kind but man think about how easy that would be once tools like this, and widgets are easy to write, start popping up that aren't just cute nice to haves.

SCARY!

Not Scary. It's a SourceForge project. You can view all the source code for yourself and make sure there are no back doors.

Great, simple tool!
