Hi All,

I have a vague memory that this has been asked (and answered) before but
I've checked in the archives and can't find a reference. So ...

On OSF/1 v3.2, with enhanced security, I'm trying to create a public-
access, captive, account. With the u_nullpw flag set in the TCB
authorisation file for the user no password is necessary, but the system
still prompts for one when I log in. This is

        a) unneccesary - anything you type is accepted as "valid"
        b) likely to confuse users

Is it possible to tell the system not to prompt for a password on
accounts which don't require them ?

Many thanks,

Alan Oborne
