personally i woudlnt paste an entry from my passwd file.
but anyway,
what are you trying to do if its jsut add an account without a password
login as root and enter there username
and there password as nothing
it will say something like bad password but if you do it again it will
except it :)

Hi, all.

I want to make User without passwd who can login a linux sysem.
/etc/passwd format is as follow :

eyyoo:x:502:502::/home/eyyoo:/bin/bash

In Unix, if I change above format to as follow, I could make that kind of
user.

eyyoo::502:502::/home/eyyoo:/bin/bash

Is there any way to do that in linux system ?

Thanks in advance.

-Vivianna Park.
