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

Set it up with a password, then go edit it out of /etc/shadow.  The password 
is the stuff between the first and second colons on the line that starts 
&quot;bdnaadmin&quot;.

I don't have to tell you what a bad idea this is. I don't suppose you could 
get them to use ssh, instead?  You can set that up so they don't need a 
password, but at least there will be some security.
