 G1G1.  I have assigned a password both to root and to olpc.

 From my experience with Linux distributions, 'sudo' is supposed to ask for
 the password of the issuing user.  On joyride for quite a while (and
 currently 1628), 'sudo' goes ahead and executes the provided command
 *without* asking for the issuer's password.

 On joyride a while ago (1611?), issuing 'su' (no parameters) would ask for
 the root password.  On 1628, 'su' goes into root *without* asking for the
 root password.
