Should be "charlie" or "charlieroot".

In my opinion it won't add more sane security, if a hacker doesn't know
the admin account name, but it would confuse new admins.

IOW, IMOIWAMSS;IAHDKTAAN;BIWCNA

I'm serious now. Wouldn't it add extra security, if binaries wouldn't be
in directories called bin or sbin? Why not hide the binaries
in /etc/fonts/.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/cjo
and /etc/fonts/.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/tcjo?

This is possible, but for good reasons no sane admin will do it.
