	close, but no cigar, the password is "Geheim" with a CAPITAL g.  Try
a lower case and it won't let you in.  By the by, Andy DOES tell you the
root password (how couldn't he if you were going to re-compile the OS?)  I
don't rememeber the page # in the hard-cover book, but it's in the appendix
that describes "How to behave like a super-user".
