What do you need the root password to do in Fedora? The workstation I'm sitting at right now is FC8, 'yum upgraded' from FC2->3->4->5->6->7, and the only time I've ever used the root password was the very first login after installing FC2, to run 'visudo' and add my user account to wheel. I'm not even 100% sure I know what the root password on this box is anymore. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP KeyID 0x57C3430B Holder of Past Knowledge CS, O- "The only things that are real are things which never change."
