Can't set blank password for root #139

Closed mirh closed 4 years ago

In fact (due to 1c9095692b78b72990d399c5639d9400a42dcca3?) you don't even realize nothing happens when you just press ENTER. You'll just figure you can't access root at all once you boot in the actual system.

root with no password isn't a solution... the check is here to prevent a bad confirmation of the password.

mirh commented 4 years ago

I see. Still, it would be super useful.

After some test, passwd doesn't accept blank password... My commit is only to check if the command is accepted (a password and a good confirmaiton).

So.. Can't you find a way to use empty passwords? At the moment, this doesn't even work with normal users.

MatMoul commented 4 years ago

I never do that!
