      I just brought up 2.0.1 on a D2500CCE (I'll describe it in another post) and am trying to change the pws for the root and admin accounts from their defaults.  But I can't seem to see where to do it.  Can someone advise?  Thanks!

          Thanks.  Sounds like I'll have to go do the root pw by hand after all.  I was expecting a general interface to /etc/passwd rather than one that only handles the webconfig admin pw. [sigh]  oh well.

            root and admin are tied together
