OK. So I won't give root privileges to a user. Just the root password? The user is a user that has root password. What does that make him/her?
A *user* with root password is root. NO USER should have root password. Change "root"s password.
As we now have the root's password defaulted to the same as the first user I also think that the first user is very much root. And uninvited guests via ssh only need to know/guess one password instead of two to be root, is very bad IMHO. I must admit that that I have changed from the new default back to what I'm used to: no autologin, different (strong) root password. So I don't really know what the default first user can/cannot do with the root password. But I sure don't like it. -- Vahis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
