IOW you're providing a service for someone else and charging a fee for it. That is the same as the millions of webhosters that offer Linux+Apache+MySQL+PHP at a fee. It is not related to the license of the distribution itself.
Whether you can keep the root-password to yourself is only a matter for you and your customer.

One thing to consider is the licensing of the software that you have written yourself. It may rely on GPLed code? But still this does not involve the distribution. E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm
