[SunHELP] [off topic]Freebsd intel

[Steve Wingate]

The 'toor' account is a default account on BSD systems. It's meant to be a
backup, for lack of a better term, account for the root user if the root
user password is ever lost. Of course you need to set a pw for the 'toor'
account before you lose the 'root' password for it to do much good.
