Sorry, too lazy. However, I want to stress that there _is_ a root
account in Ubuntu. It exists (check /etc/passwd), system files are owned
by root, etc. The *only* thing is that you cannot log in as root,
because the stored encrypted password is a character that no real
password can ever be encrypted to.
