== Password Management ==
I think it would be very useful to put information about how you change the password usage policy on this page.... just so that a new Raspberry Pi user can maintain sanity.

Not having an accurate time causes all kinds of problems with PAM, yum, fsck, and much more. We need a better solution for this overall. Two that come to mind: if the network time is not available, setting the time to (last mount time of the root filesystem)+1 second, or asking the user for the date and time.

== Root Access ==
[... as a former computer security consultant these suggestions are not easy for me to make, but I do feel that the system is verging on unsuable without some modification. Perhaps it would be sufficient to eliminate the time-dependency on password changes from PAM?]

Instructions on how to add sudo access are in the page; in F17 (next release) it's enabled by default.
