Security.

[Keith Powell]

Many thanks to all who have replied to my query regarding the security 
aspect of not having a root password with Ubuntu.

And I have not had to put my flameproof jacket on :)

I now understand the reasons behind this decision.

I had got the wrong impression and thought that any user would 
automatically get access to "root".

It was a general query, as there are no password problems here at home. 
I am the only one who uses the computer; my wife has never used it and 
has no interest in doing so.

As a newcomer to Ubuntu, but not to Linux, I have found that making a 
hard copy of the Unofficial Starter Guide is a *must*. It has helped me 
so much in getting to know Ubuntu.

Many thanks again.

Cheers

Keith
