Best thing to do: Don't enable root.

If you have to:
1. Enable the root user in NetInfo
2. Log in as YOU over SSH and then enter `su` this will start a new shell as EUID 0.
3. Then go into /etc/sshd_config and add "AllowRootLogin no" uncommented. This will prevent root logging in over ssh directly.
