That's right.

This shouldn't happen. The sequence is:
root:~$ login
blfs login: root
No mail.
-bash-4.2#
If there is no pw, then it shouldn't even ask for one.

I looked at a trace for my system. Do you have /etc/group? These are
my opens, disregarding library and files not found:
open("/etc/login.defs", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/login.access", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/var/log/lastlog", O_RDWR) = 3
open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/var/log/wtmp", O_WRONLY) = 3
open("/proc/sys/kernel/ngroups_max", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/lib/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/profile", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/root/.bash_history", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/root/.bash_history", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/inputrc", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/root/.bash_history", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND) = 3
open("/root/.bash_history", O_RDONLY) = 3
Check that login.defs, nsswitch.conf, passwd, login.access, and group
all exist. Note that shadow is not opened.
