I don't think that's the case---we still have no root password, though one
can be set. The Cloud9 IDE further doesn't require a login.

If we create gpio/pinmux group, I think we could keep from burdening users
while moving Cloud9 IDE to the 'debian' user. I believe we also have a
sudoers for the 'debian' user, meaning we could probably at that point
prevent direct root login unless someone does something to disable the root
password. I'd worry about that breaking things like LabVIEW, etc., but if
we can at least try out some minor steps towards security, it will at least
make everyone more aware of the holes and challenges.
