Ron Stone f125a8b892 Remove spurious escapes (r8,dsR8) 
This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

Local Linux Account for 'sysadmin'

This is a local, per-host, sudo-enabled account created automatically when a new host is provisioned.

This Linux user account is used by the system administrator as it has extended privileges.

  • The initial password must be changed immediately when you log in to the initial host for the first time.
  • After five consecutive unsuccessful login attempts, further attempts are blocked for about five minutes.

Operational complexity: None. The above security hardening features are set by default (see System Account Password Rules <system-account-password-rules> for password rules).
