Proposal for a "third preset":
* "Single password protected machine" Same as the "Admin configured server" but the root password is the same as the user password. "The user" in this case is the normal user account that is set up during installation and this user is considered to be "the owner" of the machine.
Then configuration changes could still require THE password which is - from my point of view - sufficiently easy to use and sufficiently secure because:
- The owner of the machine can do any configuration changes, he only must provide THE password.
- The owner of the machine cannot do configuration changes by accident because he must provide THE password.
- Arbitrary persons who get access to the machine cannot do configuration changes (i.e. arbitrary persons cannot hijack the machine when it is running unattended).
Of course it is already easily possible to set the root password and the user password to the same value (so really no ingenious new things here) but perhaps it helps if even such a simple but a bit special kind of setup is offered under a ready-made "preset"?
