Ah ok, yeah never used an NOOBs image I guess. Actually, someday I'll look
into creating my own images. Just need to work out what is needed from the
BSP for support files, kernel, and kernel modules etc. As I do not like all
this hand holding stuff, and quite honestly you never know what these
people put on your boards software wise.

As for the nagging about the default rpi user passwd. I think that a good
thing. One of the first things everyone should do once purchasing any of
these ARM based boards is:


   1. Change the default users passwd
   2. log in as root( not through su in an ssh session )
   3. Change the default user, and directory to a new suitable name for you.
   4. Give your new default user sudo access( visudo )
   5. Disable root login again, if that is your thing.

I am really glad that in general SBC makers are starting to take
responsibility for default security state of the board they're selling.
This will mean less problem on the internet over all. Which can be a huge
deal if you realize that a few hundred of these boards working in a zombie
team could by them self take down a very large corporate network.
