Control: tags -1 + fixed-upstream There's now an upstream commit titled "sulogin: improve support for locked root account"
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/?id=7ff1162e67164cb4ece19dd809c26272461aa254 This should be part of util-linux v2.27 once released. It gives the *option* of allowing password-less logins (via --force) when the root account is locked. Please beware of security implications when using this option! With that commit I'm considering this bug report can be closed. Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
