SUMMARY: No Prompt for Password

My problem was that we wanted to create an account on a Solaris 2.3
machine that doesn't require a password, AND does not prompt for
one. We're setting up a 'semi' public accessible program on a dialup
network.

The solution has two parts:

 1) edit /etc/default/login and change the entry:
       PASSREQ=YES to PASSREQ=NO

 2) Use AdminTool to create a user account with the Password
    setting as "Cleared until first login"

Many thanks to:
