1. Follow the Mac OS X style of disabling a root login by default.
Enable sudo, and the first account that gets created thru the firstboot,

My understanding is that incorporate selinux has a great impact on what
'disabling' root looks like.  I'm pretty sure i had a conversation with
mkj at one point about the selinux implications for the system tools,
the ones we use userhelper and pam_console to ask root password for.
I think whatever you wanted to accomplish with sudo, the selinux
capabilities make possible in a deeper more secure way.

too bad test1 wont have selinux enabled...too play around with this.
