I just noticed that the PC/IX login command will accept
the superuser passwd as valid for any user. This is not
the case on BSD systems, and I don't know if it comes
from System III (or V), or is special to PC/IX.

The login man page doesn't mention the feature, although
it does discuss items with a similar audience (restricting
root logins on certain terminals, and a logfile of root
logins).
