This session is running as a privileged user box?

Perhaps a normal user account should always be created during installation 
without any feedback (choice of username/passwd) which can only be logged in to 
from the local console.  Such a user could be the 'I need to do initial maint' 
account rather than root... and still need the root password to make changes.

Something like 'fedora/fedora' for user/pass which is always created and needs 
to be disabled once installed.

Once another normal user is created, the 'fedora' user could be automatically 
removed (perhaps by firstboot once users are created)?
