I have been using different Linux distributions for some years, and decided to
give FreeBSD a try. The install was successful, but have a question about how
the root account is made. Found that the root folder was created with the
user/group privileges root:wheel. Is not that a kind of security risk? I know
that usually only the account used by the administrator is the one, in addition
to root, that belongs to the wheel group. But also I know that sometimes
admins get lazy and give for limited time extra privileges just to allow
someone to do something, and that's where the danger can come. Btw, that's
just my opinion.
