You know that if you just left the slash off, the files go into root's home directory (typically /root/)? On a separate note, I tend to disable root SSH access on my servers. I SSH as a user and then when necessary, I'll su to root. Not only does that kill the temptation to use root as the default login, it also makes it doubly-hard to get to root as far as password-stealing goes.
