Mac OS X ships with the root account disabled. Is that not sufficient?
I get this one...because in its shipping form, anyone with an administrator
account can enable the root acount, and give it a password. This has always
bugged me, just not enough to really care, since it's not an evil type
thing. But part of the initial process of setting up the box should be
setting a root password, then re-disabling it. Well, unless disabling it
kills the password.
