Trust me this is not a good idea, and even if you think, oh my users will never thumb through thousands of lines of a log file and try everything that may look like a password, then you have never met a high school kid with too much time on their hands.....</font> </p>

Hi-<br><br>We’re looking at getting Random Password Manager working on OS X (already have it for our windows machines).  RPM will spin the root account.  Does anyone know how to script the enablement of the root account?  Ideally, we’d enable it through Casper and then spin it with RPM.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>j<br>---<br>Jared F.
