Title:
  Disconnecting external drive gives me root access without entering
  password

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have my external USB harddrive entered in fstab. So whenever I do
  not connect it on startup the systems tells me the harddrive is not
  there. I have then the choice to wait, to S="skip" this or to
  M="manually mount". If I press "M" I enter a root prompt. To get there
  I never had to enter any password.
