I did that too, no root login and everytime I have to su from normal user. It is a pain to work with especially with having to use full pathnames for commands instead of say just doing a "service httpd restart".
If you use su only, you assume root privileges without the root environment. Rather do su - which gives you the full root environment, including path. The same holds for other users, i..e su - joe switches the user to the user joe with full environment.
