If it is, then you're not deploying it, you're just pushing buttons
and acting like a user. I still stand by the view that the one with
the root password is the one responsible for the computer's security;
and if you have the root filesystem password, there's no way that
something can be made unmisconfigurable. (You CAN, however, make
something that's out-of-the-box secure, so someone just does a 'sudo
apt-get install yoursystem' and it's specced up nicely. This is a Good
Thing.)
