There are lots of options here, depending on exactly what you're trying to achieve. Personally (as one who hates to remember different passwords), I would rather have one ID and password, and use security policy to control which systems I'm allowed to connect to. But if I prefer, I could just as easily have a different root account/password on each system. Or a mixture of both. The exact details vary depending on which security product (ACF2, Top Secret, eTrust Access Control) you're working with, but in general all of the system entry validation features of the security products apply.
