10.6: Enable root user on Snow Leopard
It wasn't the recommended way to do it in Mac OS X 10.5. The recommended way was to simply create a new user with the right short name and copy everything across from the old home directory to the new one.
Changing short name (Account name:) in SL
The way I'd recommend for Snow Leopard is the go to System Prefs > Accounts, right-click on the user account to change, and select Advanced Options.... Change the Account name: and reboot. I think that's all there is to it, though if you also want to change the Home directory name you have to change the Home directory: listing in the Advanced Options page, and the folder name in /Users.
