root password?

[jdog]

Is the root password different from the password given when you install OSX? I can't get su to accept the password I gave during installation.

Thanks,

You have to enable it using one of the several methods described on this forum. The easiest is to open netinfo manager and use the option under one of the menus.

Speaking of one of the methods in the forum, how does one display the crypt version of a given passwd. I know there is a command line utility out there somewhere (I initially changed my root passwd this way in netinfo manager).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
