I don't think you do understand. In recent years people have got this unfounded idea that sudo makes everything good. Especially outside of the environment for which sudo was designed, this is not true. The XO is **way** outside of that environment. Having no password can be safe. Note that sshd will not accept connections for a user with no password. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
