[Casper] root account(feature request?)

[Thomas Larkin]

Or just build those specific packages logged in as the root account....then it will copy /var/root to /users

I would not want FEU to mess with root by default.  I consider not enabling root to be a best practice. 



If you have compelling reasons to enable root, you could add duplicates of the files that go to /Users/username to /private/var/root in your package.

I've thought about this for quite some time now and it's not a big deal but would anyone else benefit from having the option to fill the root account when you fill existing users??  Also, I think that the fix ByHost files should fix the root ByHost files, yes?  Regarding the first question, I wouldn't be opposed to having it just fill automatically when the FEU option is selected, although sometimes I don't want those prefs in the root account.  So, maybe an additional option (check box) to fill the root home folder.
