I'd love to try it but I'm not able to get the ADBDriver_v3_Google.zip attachment you supposedly need to do it.
This is what I used, I'm sure a moderator will remove it if this shouldn't be posted, and if so, sorry.
Wow - this works!!!
Got Wifi Tether working like a champ.
Cannot make the following work. Do we need to make it work?
1) Dial ##778, SEND
2) EPST dialog comes up. Select 'Edit Mode'. Enter SPC (000000), hit OK.
3) Scroll to down to 'Security', select it. Change 'S.IP DUN User name' to yourvzwnumber@vzw3g.com (from yourvzwnumber@dun.vzw3g.com)
4) Hit back arrow to go back and go/select 'M.IP Default Profile'. Change 'DUN NAI' to yourvzwnumber@vzw3g.com (from yourvzwnumber@dun.vzw3g.com)
5) Hit menu button, and 'Commit Modifications', phone will save changes and reboot.

Do you just need to install the apk?
Never rooted before so wasn't sure if it was that simple.
Thanks
Edit: Never mind, over at the other site ans see the directions.

Are you sure Verizon isn't going to charge for WiFi tethering just because it's rooted?
Anyone figure out how to remove the amazon mp3 app? I deleted it from the system/app folder but it's still showing up, perhaps what I deleted was just an update?
How did you remove blockbuster titanium says it can't remove it?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

if you have an issue with the phone and need to return, can you return it being rooted?
how would they know if you are rooting if you use the WiFi Tether app?
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether
I forgot the name, but it is obvious in the ls listing, so replace <blockbuster> with the actual name from the ls command
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
ls <find the blockbuster.apk >
rm -r <blockbuster>.apk
Then I went into menu->settings->Applications->Manage Applications
Selected the blockbuster app, and deleted it.
At first read I thought the post was about using the built in wifi tethering, not the google code app. Misread, apologies.

Actually, rooting voids your Verizon Service Contract as well as your Motorola warranty (you're "modifying" the device), technically speaking.
If you're on Verizon month-to-month, I would guess you're also violating the terms of service for that as well (though I'm not certain on this one).
Of course, I assume there's no reasonable way for them to actually tell if your device is rooted (remotely), and if you unroot and factory reset, no way for them to tell it ever was rooted in the first place.
I will say if anyone would try to make sure they're getting their tethering cash, though, it's Verizon. I expect the Droid X official Froyo update will address the exploit Birdman's root uses.
Though hopefully it will have its own fun-filled vulnerabilities to exploit.
