Yeah sure but it's still better to lock the root account and create a sudo admin account for all root tasks.
sure, security throu obscurity is somewhat valid as the attacker then has to discover the 'sudo admin account' instead of going for root directly
Heh yeah but we don't call it security by obscurity because those are dirty words, we call it "best practice" instead. ;)
