Hi all, Thanks to those of you who replied. Special thanks to Gary Chambers who solved the problem - In summary these are the things I tried BEFORE posting, some of which you suggested, but NONE of them worked for some reason - None of these worked - nothing in the password field in /etc/shadow NP in the password field in /etc/shadow passwd -d username ----> Run as root, this surprisingly returned "permission denied" Will be looking into this The only thing that worked as detailed below was passwd -r files <username> with 2 strikes of the <ENTER> key to enter nothing as password. Thanks all Trev Trevor... > I am trying to configure an account to have no password required to login. passwd -r files <account> Enter password: <ENTER> Confirm password: <ENTER> Gary Chambers // ------------------------------------- // MIT Lincoln Laboratory / 781-981-0957 // Lexington, Massachusetts // Nothing fancy and nothing Microsoft // ------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Feb 27 12:06:51 2004
