Root user has no password

The root user in the docker image has no password.
This may make it possible - if the service (running as nobody) is compromized - that an attacker could become root.

It should be sufficient to pull the latest alpine image an rebuild the image.

I've pushed new releases that have this fixed at 2.79 and later.
