10.5: Enable the root user
Authored by: Fairly on Mon, Oct 29 2007 at 4:27PM PDT

Why are you people only concerned about what YOU might do? Listen to Rob - don't listen to these people. Unless you're really super advanced you should never have root enabled and even the super advanced users enable it only to completely cripple it. So do NOT listen to them unless you want to be super-pwned. Listen to Rob.
