So physical protection is much required. a few years back - before warty i installed fedora, mandrake and in both cases they asked for a root password. When it was not required during the Ubuntu install i did not give it much thought except - hey one less password to keep track of. But now i think maybe that was a good idea because it gave users a chance to secure that casual entry, even by mistake, as in my case. *** So i have a choice now to go in for a boot / bios password and / or also make a root password ram
