[Casper] enable root account via casper policy?

[Thomas Larkin]

So,

Well I thought it would be a good idea to not enable the root account since there was no practical or real use for it.  Now, there is a practical use for it, mainly with students (since I am in edu) and AUP violations.  Is there a way to enable it remotely, say through a casper policy?

It looks as if I use the dscl command and put a password on the root account it will enable it next reboot?  Has anyone tried this?  If I do a dscl . list /Users it will list that the root account is there but it is not enabled in my main image.  

I think if I put a password on the account it would be accessible.  Has anyone done anything like this before?

Thanks,
