How to disable root account?

[Christopher J. Bottaro]

Hello...again...:)

I had to do an expert install in order to get my fakeRAID working, and I
guess I somehow enabled the root account in order to create my initial
user.  That's all fine and good, I actually prefer to have a root account
(I'm stuck in my ways).

My problem is that kdesu is broken and when trying to figure why and how to
fix it, I ran across this snippet:

"have you enabled root account? KDEsu get's broken when you enable root
account."

So I guess I have two choice:
1)  disable the root account
2)  employ this solution:

#2 is less desirable because it makes kdesu want the root password instead
of my user's password.

Thanks for the help,
