My setup is very similar ... no great need for security.

My setting is the same as what you posted but then the pam stuff is in
there too.  What does your whole auth_default {} look like?

 (Everthing between opening and closing brackets)

Here, the whole thing minus the comments is:

auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  passdb pam {
    args = "*"
  }

 userdb passwd {
  }
  user = root
}

I don't know how much of that is needed.  I wouldn't care if pam was
bypassed too but not sure if it would work then.
