After what happened with the chap who buggered sudo by recursively
making /var world readable though, I would suggest that Ubuntu
should consider telling people to set a root password and keep it
safe, plus allow root logins. Otherwise you can't recover from that
without rebooting, as the hapless admin discovered.
