[plug] root account

[Craig Ringer]

> root:CRYPTED_PW:0:0::/root:/bin/bash

Or even better, if your server isn't from the dark ages (uses MD5 auth 
and shadow passwords):

in /etc/passwd:
root:x:0:0::/root:/bin/bash
in /etc/shadow:
root:MD5_PASSWORD:11883:0:99999:7:::

or something like it.

an interesting thing I found out is that root need not be called "root" 
and also nothing stops you from having multiple root ("uid 0") accounts 
w different logins, default shells, passwords, and homedirs. I expect 
it'd break a lot of things in most distros (wherever "root" is used in a 
config file or program in place of "uid 0") but you could probably map 
"root" to a normal user account and use "admin" or "bob" for the uid 0 
account... mess with crackers' heads.
