The format is:
	<client>:<uid>:<password>:<admin>
So your line:
	^root@::tg7.gHr.L3sKQ:5GHfSf812wXaY
has
	client = ^root@
	uid = 
	password = tg7.gHr.L3sKQ (crypt result for 'abcd')
	admin = 5GHfSf812wXaY

If you want to allow "root" to login with no password, set the password
to empty, like:
	^root@:::5GHfSf812wXaY

I might suggest if you do that, that HylaFAX firewalled, or it will
allow anybody to have access to your hylafax server as root (although
not admin unless they brute-force your admin password).
