Nonsense.  Most Linux floppy based firewalls only have a root account.

This whole non-root thing is really too encompassing for today's use of
Linux/Unix.  20 years ago non-root use applied.  Today people use Linux
systems in a myriad of ways, one standard does not fit all.

There are plenty of examples in this thread.  ;-)
