Comment 2 for bug 58404

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.
