It says
sulogin checks the root password using the standard method (getpwnam)
first.
In the default Ubuntu setup, I would expect getpwnam to succeed, but return a
value indicating root's password is locked. Surely it does not say root has a
blank password?
The RootSudo wiki page says that "ubuntu's sulogin is patched to handle
the default case of a locked root password". I'm just asking that the
manpage be updated to reflect this, e.g.
In Ubuntu, sulogin is patched so that it allows login without a
password if root's password is locked, which is the system default.
** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
