Want to crack a box?  Everyone has a root account, you only need to
crack the password.  Want to crack an Ubuntu box?  First, guess the
username, /then/ you can move to cracking the password.  An extra
security step is involved wherein one doesn't even have something (root)
to start with.  It's would take a hell of a dictionary attack to get a
strange username and password.
