Default Mandrake 9.1 - No root user?

Hello,

I've got a freshly installed linux box running Mandrake 9.1. Things
seem to work nicely, I'm networked, Samba is functioning, life is
good. However, when I start the box up, the only username available is
the one account I set up during install. There is not a selection to
log in as root. This isn't much of a problem, because I can su into
root and get things done, but a few things, such as Netconf won't run
unless I am actually logged in as root. Can someone tell me how to
correct this? I wouldn't think I would have to actually create a root
account, I set the root password during install and like I said, I can
su into root or provide the root password in the various KDE apps I
use to modify things. Thanks.
