You made one big mistake in your assumption Ward.  If he knows how to get onto  
the net then he is obviously computer literate.  Which means he can use the  
on-line documentation to find out how to change the root password, or go down  
to the local bookstore and buy a next network/sysadmin book, so it doesn't  
really matter if the net talks about it.
