- Here's another one I couldn't find in the FAQ. I'm running Solaris 2.1,
- and I need to have a user with no password, so that when they log on, they
- enter their username, and their shell is run, no password asked for or
- accepted. I tried to delete the entry from /etc/shadow, but then when I
- log on as that user, it tells me that I have no password, and to enter one.
- This account is used by hundreds of people, so I can't have that. If I lock
- the password, it won't let me log in. How do I get an account set so that
- no password is needed? Thanks for the help in advance.
