My concern is this. The only way I would use sudo on the floor of an enterprise with not-to-be-trusted users is if it required a root/not user password. I don't want regular users doing ANYTHING requiring root permission. I do want to be able to run root tasks on their machines without having to log in myself or a root login with a separate root password.
start in single-user mode?

;)

it will let you do everything as root. granted, it's a diff. runlevel, so some services might not be up (ssh, for one...) but you can manually start them i think. but i wouldn't. single-user is super not secure for you to be bouncing around on the net with.

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent, everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
