I beg to differ... I believe that not having a Linux root password at all (but using cryptic keys) is more secure. And when you don't have a root password, you don't want to get prompted for it either. Apart from the inittab, I recall something in the boot scripts (around fsck) also needed to be fixed. And for the case where you can not decode the keys, using RACF to control access to the virtual machine console works nice.
