Like most, if I set

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?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
