My only problem with that is that it will create passwordless sudo for all of them. I don't think you want 20 admins in a 20 user server. My point is that, usually, one is admin and he delegates (through sudo, perms and gorups, ACL, SELinux, etc). >> I can live with SSH keys injected to root.

Oh, I agree with you! No need to be root all the time. I'd create mortal user account as well; use root only for admin stuff. But, in the current design, every account you create is root; If they use sudo. That's not so cool... Also, if you're root, you can have ~/.vimrc and ~/.gitconfig without them poluting your users' environment. ;) -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for; it's just given. Respect isn't asked for; it's earned!
