+Subject: [PATCH] sulogin: allow system maintenance login if root password is
+ empty
+
+The current password checking is unable to distinguish between the user
+entering an empty password or pressing Control-D. As a result, an empty
+password always results in normal startup.
+
+We modify bb_ask to return NULL if Control-D is pressed without entering
+a password. The sulogin applet is then modified to only proceed to
+normal startup if bb_ask returns NULL. This covers EOF with no password,
+interrupt by timeout and ^C.
