Either the sulogin manpage has been changed since this bug was filed (which I can find no reference for), or your description of the text is incorrect.
It describes the -e option as a fallback for getpwnam() and does not conflict with the Ubuntu behaviour (getpwnam would succeed) |

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. |
