just a quick question (and also my first post here, though i have been doing a bit of lurking), is there any disadvantage to changing the root password? i.e. is it set to whatever it is for a good reason, like for updates?
I have ssh going via public/private keys, which i normally use between machines anyway, but I'd like to know the password, and running the shadow file through a cracker did not find anything (its obviously too long for brute force cracking).
