So in a real life situation, the admin should create a user account for himself and add this to the sudo file.
No! The root account is created automatically when installing. In order that the root user does not have to log in as root for everything, a normal account is created with the username of your choice during the installation itself. Unless, when logged in as this user, you change the password for the root user, this user can use sudo without a password.
All other users have different
accounts and none of them are included in the sudo file. Right? :) and for single desktop usage, two user accounts should be created, one previlaged and one not. No root.
No again! Only one account needs to be created, irrespective of the previleges. -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.
