That's nice to know, though I'd be scared to use it; that fifteen (or five) minute rule is a good safeguard for us forgetful sudo-user folks.

>> $ sudo passwd root

How can that "root" password be any improvement, as there is no "admin" file, and so "root" is just another user, as in "Charlie Root" ? Even with an awesome password, a hacker would do just as well with sudo and my ordinary password as with "root" and that awesome password, but my username and password would be a whole lot easier to break.

That's not to be argumentative ... just pointing out that the legendary linux security is at risk in Trisquel.
