Getting the root password itself is quite separate from getting root access (unless you've not cleaned up after that ubuntu bug which leaves it cleartext). Unless someone is regularly keying in the root password and they're capturing that somehow, then they'll need to break they crypt to get it... (right?). Which seems a little unfair.

Of course, once you've got root access you can change the root password :-)
