There is a root account, you just can't access it w/o setting it's password. And as soon as you do set it's password, I highly recommend you then completely disable and lock down the very insecure sudo defaults. The way OS X / ubuntu / etc configure sudo is something I highly disagree with. By default, all a cracker needs is to get a local uname/password for an admin user and he can then spawn a root shell. With sudo disabled, the cracker must also have a local exploit that gets past SELinux. Assuming Ubuntu supports SELinux (does it?) _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
