 I believe it would be much more advisable to fix the
 "root users of workstations."   Only adminstration personel
 (presumably the ones setting the IP addresses) should have
 the root password.

 If there are things that "normal" users need root permissions
 to accomplish (such as mounting CD-ROMs), investigate the sudo 
 command - I believe it's in the ports/packages.
