From: Paul J Gans on 4 Aug 2010 20:41 I've just installed 11.3 and was never asked to set up a root login and password. Is this right? Are we being Ubuntu'd (my ordinary password worked for su)? It took only a moment to create a root login (the account was already there). Did I miss something? -- --- Paul J. Gans

Yes, a checkbox, marked by default, saying IIRC "Use this password for root account" when you were creating the first user acount during installation. -- mrg
