I don't know why, or what should I do to disable password asking. Pressing enter at the password prompt is useless, it keeps asking for login again. My ideal setup for this stuff is to edit login to keep it from asking the username, but the password stuff is still needed, so I can rlogin to the system to manage it from a protected account. BTW, a -current setup of two months ago does not ask for a password with this passwd files. Hector Gonzalez ITESO, Guadalajara, Mexico.
