I agree. I *always* change my root password on 4 different RaQ4's now 
and have *never* had a problem with anything.
Keep in mind that it DOES NOT MATTER what root's password is. When a 
script runs as root, it doesn't need to know any passwords. It acts 
as if it has already done SU and entered the password, and just goes 
about its business.

If changing root's password could possibly screw something up, I'd 
love for someone from Cobalt (Jeff Lovell?) to come in here and tell 
me what - because I know of no 'cons' to the issue, only 'pros'.
