My experiences:
login.c 1.12 (RELENG_2_2_0_RELEASE):
    login: root
    doesn't ask for password and logs me in

login.c 1.12.2.2 (RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE):
    login: root
    Password: (hit enter)
    logs me in

login.c 1.12.2.3 (latest on RELENG_2_2):
    login: root
    doesn't ask for password and logs me in

Presumably, the reason that rev 1.12.2.2 works for me and not for anybody
else is that I have the DES distribution installed.  I changed the symlinks
to point to libscrypt instead of libdescrypt and now I get "Login incorrect"
for the RELENG_2_2_1_RELEASE login.

So, I guess a potential workaround is to install DES.  (If you can manage
to do that without logging in =)
