My other half knows the password set that I have a tendency to use and I
usually let her know as it evolves.
I'd like to think that in the event of my untimely death she won't be to
concerned with root access :)
Besides, if she's none technical and knows that the system was only for
your use, surely she'd just hit the off switch?
It would be more worthwhile keeping a list of important folders to copy
to a DVD should she switch to another OS that is more suitable to non
techies?
Maybe create IfYoureExecutingThisThenIMustBeDead.sh to do it all for her?
