Do not unset root password
In response to this filesystem change
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/0320c909f3867d47576083e853543bab1705185b
archiso started unsetting root password
to allow users switch to other TTYs.
A more secure way would be keep the password disabled (*
in /etc/shadow
) and put systemd autologin.conf
drop-in in the template unit (/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/
directory) to make it work on all virtual consoles.
