su to root not prompting for a password

[James Riendeau]

Thanks!  I didn't think it was so simple, and I feel like a lunkhead  
for not thinking of that.  I'm accustomed to being prompted for the  
user's password when I run su, even if it is blank (I've been  
spending way too much time on Mac OS X, I guess).   I must have  
clobbered only the root password.  Nobody else complained about being  
unable to login after the upgrade.  Not sure how that happened since  
I was so careful, especially when it got to master.passwd.
