Why is this such a surprise? Ubuntu uses sudo for everything and by default the root password is disabled. Upon installation a user password is configured into the sudoers configuration so that explicitly logging into the root account is not needed. But if you configure a root password then of course this enables the root login the same as traditional systems. Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
