Yeah, that's why we distribute the hash of the root password via a debian package. :) (And the machines do an update/upgrade regularly.) I think this approach works quite well in a desktop environment. Of course publishing the root password hash is insecure. But installing the hash on a machine people have physical access to, is just as insecure. cheers, Christian P.S. Thx for the hint Marc. I thought it was save to translate 1:1 from German.
