No root by default
Authored by: Anonymous on Apr 16, '01 02:04:51PM

By default, there is no root account activated in the first place.
So it wouldn't matter.

As an aside, it's a bit of a shock that people started telling everyone to enable root so quickly, since the general rule is if you know what root is, then you should also know the issues enabling root creates. Almost all of the tricks posted could have been done using sudo, which wouldn't have required enabling root at all... Mac OS X growing pains, I suppose.
