Ah, yes, those BSD idiots with their root and toor accounts, clearly clueless about security concerns.

I don’t recall ever seeing a security requirement not to have 2 root accounts. What you can’t have is multiple users sharing the same account. This is different.

in case anyone else is mildly curious (i didnt know that was a thing)

> The reason it exists is shell flexibility. Traditionally root's shell is kept as a statically-linked shell like /bin/csh or /bin/sh so that the superuser can always log in even in single-user mode or if dynamically-linked shells in /usr/local break. The toor account lets an admin have a UID 0 login with a fancier daily-driver shell (bash, zsh, etc.) without touching root's safe configuration.
