    Hi!,

    Just curious to wonder if it is possible to setup an account that doesnt require a password to login. That is when they enter their username they immediatly enter without entering password.
    Any assistance greatly appreciated
    Spartic...

    I have created the account as said however when telnet to machine it is still prompting for a password.

    passwd randomuser

    just keep hitting return util it accepts the password.

    wheel should allow you to su to root.

    don't use telnet... disable telnet.. use ssh instead.

    monies in brown paper envelopes care of the getting typedef monies foundation.

    that is all.
