Bug #9408
Make sure that we have no regression wrt. logging into a text console on Jessie

Description
I’ve seen a passwordless login work on tty1. I suspect the session crashed when I switched to tty1, and then the greeter’s session cleanup script might have done something that implies this behaviour. We should compare with Tails/Wheezy:
- with/without an admin password set
- before/after being logged in via Tails greeter
- passwordless / with
livepassword

Tails 1.7:
- from the greeter screen, ctrl-alt-f1 => no automatic login but I can login as user amnesia with password “live”
- once logged in:
- with no admin password set: ctrl-alt-f1 => no automatic login but I can login as user amnesia with password “live”
- with an admin password set: ctrl-alt-f1 => no automatic login but I can login as user amnesia with the configured password
Current feature/jessie:
- from the greeter screen, ctrl-alt-f1 => no automatic login but I can login as user amnesia with password “live”
- once logged in:
- with no admin password set: ctrl-alt-f1 => no automatic login but I can login as user amnesia without a password
- with an admin password set: ctrl-alt-f1 => no automatic login but I can login as user amnesia with the configured password
So as long as we don’t provide screen locking functionality there’s no regression here since Wheezy, considering that the default “live” password is public information. I’ll come back to it since I wonder if we could easily randomize that password, though.
