Ubuntu users update
There is a pretty large flaw in Ubuntu's handling of the password created during install. It's not really the "root" password as is being passed around on the grapevine. I just checked on mine. It was the username/pass I created during install (of course that acct has full sudo privs by default).I suggest Ubuntu users change it and do an apt-get upgrade this evening. Particularly if have multiple users or run an ssh-server. It was found and patched today.

Good find. The update showed up on my Ubuntu auto-updater this morning.
