The reason your root login is not validated, is because Redhat doesn't allow
root logins over a tellnet session by default, and because of some stupid
decission made once, it doesn't allow you to make a user account during
installation.
That's why you've had to change the setup-noarch.rpm to add a secure tty, to
login as root over a telnet session.
your /etc/passwd trick would also work
