Local Linux Account for 'sysadmin'

This is a local, per-host, sudo-enabled account created automatically when a new host is provisioned.

This Linux user account is used by the system administrator as it has extended privileges.

  • The initial password must be changed immediately when you log in to the initial host for the first time.
  • After five consecutive unsuccessful login attempts, further attempts are blocked for about five minutes.

Operational complexity: None. The above security hardening features are set by default (see System Account Password Rules <system-account-password-rules> for password rules).
