root entries in last command I ran the last command in my terminal on my macbook pro high sierra and in the output where entries for the root user. How is that possible? Should that user not be deactivated? Here are the entries for last root:


root      console                   Thu Nov 30 09:31 - shutdown  (00:00)
root      console                   Wed Nov 29 09:23 - shutdown  (00:02)
root      console                   Wed Nov 22 19:00 - shutdown  (00:00)
root      console                   Sat Oct  7 22:44 - shutdown  (00:00)


Thank you very much for your Help!
These entries are fully normal.

The shutdown needs root priviledges to run, most notably to be able to kill all processes.
This doesn't mean that the root user logged on your system, and is totally independant of the fact that the root user is activated.
