Although having a preallocated user 1000 is the standard "Debian
Way", the objective being that you can telnet (later SSH) in using
that user and then  sudo su  to get root (fouled up on some versions
that don't add user 1000 to sudoers). For quite a long time

The same effect can be achieved by supplementing the user in question
with the group sudo. With that there is no need to edit sudoers.

John

But that does not fix the x server being locked and unusable when logged
in from a comfy chair because user 1000 is not the same name.  So you
are limited to ncurses at best for a gui. And that sucks somewhere
around 10-35 Torr.

Gene, what /exactly/ are you complaining about here? if it's simply that you can't get a GUI login as root from your system console then that's a display manager thing which should be fixable.
