What do you gain by this? Running "su - <enter root password> is simple
and quick and all you need to start services. If the user has root
rights - as having UID/GID 0 - it makes no differences. Even working
with a user account which has root rights too is dangerous!

To start up services like Apache and MySQL at startup run:

chkconfig --list httpd
chkconfig --list mysqld

This tells you at which runlevels these services are already active. To
activate a service at specific runlevel do i.e.:

chkconfig --level 3 httpd on
