My experiences:
login.c 1.12 (RELENG_2_2_0_RELEASE):
login: root
doesn't ask for password and logs me in
login.c 1.12.2.2 (RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE):
login: root
Password: (hit enter)
logs me in
login.c 1.12.2.3 (latest on RELENG_2_2):
login: root
doesn't ask for password and logs me in
Presumably, the reason that rev 1.12.2.2 works for me and not for anybody
else is that I have the DES distribution installed. I changed the symlinks
to point to libscrypt instead of libdescrypt and now I get "Login incorrect"
for the RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE login.
So, I guess a potential workaround is to install DES. (If you can manage
to do that without logging in =)
