I always have a root account on my system and add a user after every new installation using 'useradd' command. I do not create a user at the time of installation. The sudo command does not work on my account as the user is not in the sudoers list. The user's name is not in the wheel group either. I usually never add a sudoer to the system. The only different thing that I did was update from Fedora 20 to 21 and to 22 whilst the account remained on the system. There is a small shield like thing appears (in green) when updates are available and on clicking 'install the updates', it does install everything. As a normal user I cannot install anything that would be in the root directory. The partitions in my system are '/boot', /'/, 'swap' and 'users'. So the user account is created under /users and given a normal user privileges. To my knowledge as I mentioned above I have not added a user to sudoers list or wheel group. I do not think that updating from Fedora 20 to 21 or 22 should do this without consulting the 'root'. I am at office now and when I go back home this evening I will check in the sudoers file whether the user's name is listed in there. And if, then it is the system update through 'fedup' that might add the user automatically to the wheel group. Will update in the evening GMT.
