That's as may be, but he obviously never looked at the source ;) :
setantae@rhadamanth setantae$ grep -C2 root /usr/src/sbin/init/init.c
* single user do not freak out and die (like passwd).
*/
if (setlogin("root") < 0)
warning("setlogin() failed: %m");
--
struct passwd *pp;
static const char banner[] =
"Enter root password, or ^D to go multi-user\n";
char *clear, *password;
#endif
--
#ifdef SECURE
/*
* Check the root password.
* We don't care if the console is 'on' by default;
* it's the only tty that can be 'off' and 'secure'.
*/
typ = getttynam("console");
pp = getpwnam("root");
if (typ && (typ->ty_status & TTY_SECURE) == 0 &&
pp && *pp->pw_passwd) {
setantae@rhadamanth setantae$
