There is a good article at kuro5hin.org
http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/3/29/135012/335
It mentions that the root account is disabled by default and can be enabled with
"Netinfo Manager". At this point it will prompt you for the password to be used for
the root account.
Apple recommend against this though and some people have said that if you do this then
Apple will not offer support.
Hope this helps,
Steven.
