Or maybe skip the login step directly? Change the login command to login you automatically as root without prompting for a password. Which is more secure: you can still keep a super-complex root password ;-)

try: 'login -f root' as the login command. In the worst case, make a wrapper script that will run that and pass it as the login command.
