For Fedora 28 Workstation.

The root account exists but is disabled. There's no need to use
"useradd". You can enable it with "sudo passwd".

But there's no need to enable it, you can use "sudo -i" to run
commands as root without prepending "sudo " to every one of them.

There's a problem with booting into the rescue and emergency targets
when root's disabled. In previous versions of Fedora/systemd, you
could change "rescue.service" and "emergency.service" to run "sulogin
--force" instead of "sulogin" but "sulogin" has been replaced by
"systemd-sulogin-shell" and the latter doesn't seem to understand
"--force" (so I'm using "sulogin").
