Root Password Not Needed



I am very inexperienced and seem to be able to login as root without having
to supply a password.

My machine boots straight to the root account without a passwd being required.

If I do passwd to change root password it appears to take the new password
but then if I do a login as root I do not have to enter the new passwd.

I want to require a password for root before I get ppp working.  That seems
smart to me anyway.

Any help will be appreciated
