From 769fbecef3ea7411c6e68ff1c4838f49b7c5d648 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Runge Date: Sun, 31 May 2020 00:27:15 +0200 Subject: Unsetting the root password Due to changes in the filesystem package [1] the current /etc/passwd does not allow login without an empty root password anymore. This becomes apparent, when switching to another TTY than the one autologin is activated for. By running passwd -d root we unset the password. In the future this should go to a custom /etc/passwd file.
