Should a root password be set instead of disabling the root account?
Currently, one of the steps is to provide a root password. This is useful because by default, the root
user has no password set and can login without providing one. On the other hand, setting a root password allows a login as the superuser. Is this intended? Instead of setting a root password, the root account could also be completely disabled and instead the new user account can be added to the sudo
group.
