Yeah, but a _lot_ of things will break, not just cracklib - I once used
a machine with mouse and root both UID 0, and it was amazing how many
things insisted I was really root when I was logged in as mouse.

One of my long-term projects is to find and eradicate everywhere in the
tree where "uid==0" and "superuser" are equated, replacing them in the
kernel with suser() or something like it, in user-land with a library
call of some sort (which may end up doing a syscall), so that by
changing only a very small number of things I can completely change
around what "superuser" means.
