retitle 207816 [POST-SARGE] nullok comment in pam.d/login is confusing
thanks

(shadow package bug triage)

I have commited (sid) the very small change which makes the comment about
nullok disappear.

The history of this bug is very strange.

>From a simple comment by Joey about a misleading comment in
/etc/pam.d/login, I see a long thread about deep security strategy,
none of it seeming to really pertain to shadow, but rather to PAM stuff.

So, the only fix I can do in shadow is fixing the comment. All
remaining stuff does not really pertain to this package, IMHO. Maybe
cloning the bug would be better and then reassign it to pam...I leave
this up to the people who participated in the discussion.
