+# ROOT PASSWORD:
+# Setting a root password is NOT RECOMMENDED, especially if your
+# server will be accessible to the public internet.  This is
+# because of the rise of automated ssh password guessing attacks.
+# You should instead (if you don't have one already)
+# generate a public ssh key:
+# http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/
+# 
+# See comment below in %post for authorizing your public
+# key for the root account.

+rootpw ""
+
+# However, if you choose instead to make a password,
+# you will need to replace the above line with one like
+# rootpw --iscrypted @@ROOT_PASSWORD_CRYPTED@@
+# If you do neither of these things, you will not be able to log
