From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
we have a 2nd "root" account called "system" which has the same uid/gid as root.  a normal user can su to system without giving a password

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
coreutils-5.2.1-48.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.vipw    duplicate the root entry.  rename the 2nd on system
2.do the same in the shadow password
3.log in as a normal user
4. su - system

  

Actual Results:  
and no prompt for a password is given - you just become system
