Users

Name and Number of Users

I'm sure it would be possible to create an admin user with sudo privileges in Arch, but I don't see a reason for the added complexity. Ubuntu, on the other hand, disables root by default, so leaving that setup as-is. sudo is automatically configured during installation.

• Ubuntu
  • Root: Disabled
  • Admin User: adminvince@bionic
  • Regular User: vince@bionic
• Arch
  • Root: root@arch
  • Admin User: n/a
  • Regular User: vince@arch

User Creation

The core functionality of adding a user works with both commands, but "niceties" such as bash prompt and a home directory require the right commands.

• Ubuntu
  • adduser
• Arch
  • useradd -m

Firewall

• Ubuntu
  • Not sure!
  • Seems to be enabled based on the results of the Test from LAN section of the NAT walkthrough.
  • However, the connection refused just might mean that no daemon responded. All the ports of the machine could actually be open.
• Arch
  • Disabled by default.
