If you don't know, why are you answering? ;-) It works fine. passwd -l simply sets the password to a value matching no passwords. sudo works by running SUID root, and so does not depend on a root password in any way. Actually I think Ubuntu's approach is very sane. Setting a root password should be optional during installation, and only available in expert mode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
