Having all of root's .files in / buggs me a bit and I would much perfer to have root's home directory be /root. I 'spose I could modify /etc/profile so that if $USER=root then set HOME=/root but I assume there is a beter way? vipw just has a fit about root's home-dir != / when i try and change it...

Then just use normal "vi" and make sure nobody else is editing the password
file at the same time. 8-)  root's homedir is /root (not /) on all of my
boxes.
