Like most, if I set a root pw, it is going to be a considerably longer, mixed case and alphanumeric string I can remember.
I don't get this. Yes, I have a strong root password. But my user has no access. Your user can use his password. Do:
$ sudo -s enter user's password
and have full root privileges. Why does root's password need to be stronger, since the user has full root privileges???

Good question Lisi, one I've yet to hear a good explanation for from the bunto folks, and I did ask a couple times in the past. Should I make the pw I use just as obtuse & long?
Yes!!!
