I got it messed up. I cannot find it right now but it was either on 
sounder or something and it is not just enabling root. It was also 
blowing away the sudoers setup too. Somebody wanted to make it 'normal' 
and that person was informed that at least one service depended on the 
sudoers setup or something. It was a thread where one chap really hates 
the sudoers setup and claims it is absolutely insecure. Nevermind.
