I'll just point out that you don't need root anymore :-) Maybe we should be axe that section anyways.
I'll have to agree with craig, system accounts should never go into the directory IMO. But this was the beauty of the separation between NSS and the passdb backend. root can stay in /etc/passwd and the samba attributes go to LDAP. But not I'm just digressing....
Seriously though, we need to move people away from using root to join domains admins.
