Its that sudo thingey.  Never ever use that.  Its not safe.  Just give
everyone the root password instead........    

Oh, and also - for user efficiency, give all the user's blank passwords.

It saves them time logging in and you'll never get a support call on a
forgotten password.

See?  System administration can be made much simpler with a few simple
rule changes.....
