Security Series - Where's the "root"?

In Ubuntu, root user account is locked by default. This is done to harden the security features. You can always enable it by using the following command:
#passwd root

Set the password of the user, logout and again login with root user.

Excuse me!!!....where the admin account list in ubuntu.

:) You can find the list of the sudoers in the file /etc/sudoers.
I used to edited it whenever I need some new users (ssh/ftp) to have sudo rights.
