Business employees generally do not get root or admin access to their computers. Arguably, working around that is trivial regardless of the OS. There really is no security when the user has physical control of the device, regardless of the OS.
With Linux, give anyone a grub menu and nothing else, and it's trivial to get to a root prompt and change the root password.

I guess you've never worked in a corporate environment, where employees can be disiplined for violating IT policy. If you "work around" something like a root or admin password, then you're inviting disiplinary action. In general, corporate employees do not get root or admin password and for good reason. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
