Blank password works for root

[Jim Laverty]

If you ssh into the box, do you experience the same behavior?

If you login as a normal user and then 'su', do you experience the same
behavior?

Subject: Blank password works for root


I just discovered that I can log into my FC1 box as root with either the
root password, or by simply leaving the password blank!

Functions this way from a command line, or in a terminal within either KDE
or Gnome.

Can anyone suggest where to look to stop this behavior.  This was a RH9 box
upgraded to FC1, and has all current patches applied.

Thanks.

Bill
