root password hash is a bad idea! cobbler doesn't really protect those directories and if the errant badguy would able to download the hash they might be able to get the password through rainbow tables or brute force.
what we do for our local users is use apg to create a default new password. We drop the plaintext version of this in their homedir and ensure it's chmod 600 chown user.user something along these lines might be a bit better.
