in fact, using an empty root password is a perfectly correct and smart
security practice.Don't tell that to anyone, as the openbsd guys are
trying to keep this technique for themselves.
A second step to secure your system is to post your machine's ip here.
Nodoby here believes in security through obscurity, don't we? :) :)

I was very surprised, that when I was installing
a 3.9 system, that you can use an empty root password

I accidentally entered a 'return' when it asked for the

I was asked to repeat the password, thinking that
a empty password would be denied, and I would be asked
again.
