Todd,

  May not have made myself clear.  In MDK you lgoin to MCC with your
root password.  By default MDK sets up webmin with the uname root and
the password identical to root.  I'm saying that once you log into MCC
since you obviously have entered the root password, MCC could just pass
the password on to webmin.  Thereby only requiring root login once not
twice.  (If you change the user from root to something else then..... it
wouldn't work.)  Not no password just a single login.
