Subject: Re: [ale] how to create user with no password


I think if you just delete the password entry in /etc/shadow (or the other file if you aren't using shadow passwords, I can't remember what it is right now) for that user that should take care of it.  There is a thread from yesterday/day before I think about resetting root's password that has detailed instructions for how to delete the password entry.

&gt; 
&gt; All,
&gt; 
&gt; I am running an out of the box redhat 9.  I am required to set up an account for corporate &quot;bdnaadmin' with NO PASSWORD.  It seems that the GUI (how embarassing for me) requires a password.  I have tried deleting the account, then using &quot;adduser bdnaadmin&quot;.  RedHat put one in for me...
&gt; 
&gt; I could use some help here..
&gt;
