The passwordless accounts ("root" and "anonymous") are only distinguished in the details of each finding -- our comments sometimes address root when anoymous is found or vice versa.

Other db nodes have no marked findings at this time:  robinson, heston, db03, db04, db05, db08, db09, db10, db11, onldb01, onldb2, onldb03, coburn, colbert, pegasus, lx1, bogart, brando.  Many of these have no scan results at all, which bears investigation.
