So if a distro removes the sudo and su you have to log out and then log in as root to do stuff. If a distro has locked the root account you have to edit manually the passwd file from a live CD. You can always blank the password and enable root login, just like with Windows's Local Administrator account.Last edited by starshipeleven; 10 December 2019, 06:20 AM.

A company I worked for a while back escorted us around their developing datacentre site. They espoused their site security as very modern. I pointed at the roof and asked whats to stop me coming through that with nothing more than a drill to undo the screws in the corrugated roof panelling. The sales speak was redirected elsewhere for the rest of the tour. It was meant to be hosting some military self-contained mini centres.Hi

Oh, wait, you were being sarcastic?
There are actually people who do look for easy targets like unlocked car and house doors for light thievery. There are records on this. Not everyone who steals stuff is a comic book villain with secret martial arts or a character from Home Alone.
