We've noticed some inconsistent results when creating user accounts on
an alpha running DEC Unix v4.0 with enhanced security turned on.
When a user is created using dxaccounts their entry in /etc/passwd
reflects an asterik ( * ) in the password field. Whe a user is created
using adduser the password field is left blank.
Both accounts appear to work ok.
Is it alright to use adduser when running in enhanced security mode ?
Is this inconsistency more than cosmetic ?
I'll summarize,
Thanks
