Can someone supply me with a list of programs depending on the user
with uid==0 having the name "root"?  Specifically, I'd like to know
what would break if I renamed "root" to "mother", for example.  I'm
primarily concerned with 4.[23] BSD, but the System V information would
be valuable too.

Please mail and I'll summarize to the net.  Thanks.
