But that's the same on my Mac and Ubuntu distro too. The first user is the admin. Granted, the default behavior on Mac/nix requires the admin password and not just a confirmation, but at the end of the day, it's all the same. I actually like being able to change the behavior to suit my environment, which I can do with Visa/Win7.
In regards to Ubuntu, that isn't necessarily correct. Yes, the first user is setup and given access as a sudoer, but that is all. When you log in, you are logging in with user priveleges and have to escalate each time, for each independant act that requires system modification. <snip> -- Rob +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | _ | | ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | | - against HTML email X | | / \ | | | +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
