You're root. (I just had a fear while writing this that the account I used was an admin one, but I just checked and it's not an admin account)

I have not had the possibility to check what happens if you had not enabled the root account via NetInfo or sudo passwd root

I can confirm this. I just tried this, from admin & non-admin logins, with root disabled in NetInfo manager - and it makes me root. D'Oh!

Strange. I'm running 10.1, and when I just tried it this bug didn't show up.
