'root' is the name of the administrator on linux machines.  Linux
machines don't care about what administrator account is used on Windows
machines.  If you want, you could add the domain administrator account
to the admin group on your Trustix machine.  This can vary from
distribution to distribution, on Ubuntu the group name is 'admin' so you
just add the user to that group, but this could be different on Trustix.
You will have to consult your Trustix documentation on this.
