Guess ubunti solves this somehow... But what realy happens when You have 
to log in in singel user mode? A singel user mode without password is 
*realy* no security feature. First fing I did on my ubunu was to run 
passwd as root and set a root password

To get a 'regular' root-session I type:

$ sudo bash
#

Or use the root terminal menu, but sudo bash is faster if You have a 
terminal runing :-)
