The netops user is what Meta uses internally as the shared user on FBOSS systems. Create it with the netops password as part of a passwordless sudoers group to give users a non-root user to log in as. Login as netops and verify sudo access: ``` $ sudo cat /etc/sudoers ... [netops@gold407 ~]$ ls -l /etc/sudoers -r--r----- 1 root root 4328 Nov 18 11:09 /etc/sudoers ```

Pre-submission checklist

Add a non-root user as the default shared user on FBOSS Distro systems. Create it with the netops password as part of a passwordless sudoers group to give users a non-root user to use.
The root user is dealt with differently by many components in standard CentOS. This creates friction when using the root user. Further, mistakes made as the root user can have a very large blast radius. A default non-root user avoids these various small issues.
