A number of OSes default to having the first created user be the "Administrator", including OSX, Windows and, closer to our usage, Ubuntu. I don't think that defaulting to the first user being an admin is a problem for people installing multiple machines, as this would be something they would look for. I'd much rather force having an admin on the system and get rid of the root user as something you can log in as. ----- Original Message ----- > On Tue, Dec 9, 2014 at 8:41 AM, Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > On Mon, 2014-12-08 at 19:56 -0800, Adam Williamson wrote: > >> it defaults to unchecked. > > > > Frankly, this is a bad default.... > > I disagree, the standard for security is to give the least possible > permissions by default and add as necessary.
