[CLUE-Tech] 'Scuse me, but why did the RH7.2 upgrade change my root password.

[Jeremy Huber]

Out of curiosity what version did you upgrade from?  I haven't done an RH
upgrade lately (my past experience says it's easier just to backup your
data, install clean, and restore), but I know that it's almost ALWAYS a bad
idea to upgrade between major revision levels...
