You shouldn't be giving out your system's root password to this class of 
user.

Instead, configure the "sudo" command to permit those users you wish to 
have administrative capabilities to be to use it (sudo) to get root 
privilege.

Sudo has other more refined capabilities (e.g., I think you can limit 
the commands available to a given user via sudo).
