User without a password?
by felipeperona from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53SSE)
Hello,
I have just finished installing the -current branch of Slackware64 in my PC. It was not an update, I formatted the disk and did a clean install.
I wanted to create my users and I realised that now you need to set an non-empty password for yours users.
I used to have my login with an empty password (just push enter when I was asked for my password) and I would like to keep it in that way. I suppose it is related with the change to PAM. Is there any way to change the configuration and allows empty passwords for users?
Thanks!
