It was, "Can I rename root?" to which the answer seems to be:

Yes.

You can. You've got the source code to the entire operating system,
and you can change the superuser's name to phil (yes, like the groundhog
phil) or to whatever you might want it to be, although it'll probably be
rather more involved than it might be worth. Especially if you ask about
it first.
