Charlie Root is also the name of the superuser, or 'root' user, on BSD systems. I do believe that the original BSD developers liked the Cubs, and named root accordingly. All email messages that come from the system are normally marked as From: Charlie Root. root's real name can be changed by editing /etc/master.passwd with vipw and chpass/chsh.
