You should never log in as root via ssh. :^)
I think you should fail to login in enforcing mode and return anything
in permissive mode. Allowing the user to reach a shell as a random
context is dangerous. As system_chkpwd_t I can read the /etc/shadow
file. Although in reality I would figure the shell would not have
access to the tty.
