Short answer: no it doesn't work.
Long answer.
A dialog requesting root password pops up, and if I input a wrong
password, it just disappears. If I put in a correct password, it uses
the terminal and the standard login program to authenticate it, and,
if it succeds, it prints for me on controlling terminal
Lozinka: *********
root: root: No such file or directory
("Lozinka" is a password prompt I defined in /etc/login.defs).
I won't go any further with this now (because I lack the time), but I
hope this will at least give you a hint at what's wrong.
