securing this workstation: part 2.

The login screen has 2 named users:
1. a user that Anaconda had me create.
2. "Super User", which I did ***not*** create.
Then there's something else below those that I can use to log in as root.
What is "Super User"; where did that come from?

Where do you see anything about "Super User"? By default, your user will be an "admin" (in the "wheel" group) and can use "su" or "sudo" to become or act as root. By default, root doesn't have a password. There shouldn't be any other users other than the system accounts for various services.

You didn't say specifically which installation you used, so I'm assuming workstation. I don't know about the others.
