Running passwd, and changing my password to a blank one works fine. Logging in works almost fine (it displays 'Password:' then 'Password [echo on]:' and accepts the blank password the second time), but trying to change a blank password causes pam_chauthtok to fail with 'permission denied'. My /etc/pam.d/passwd file consists of one non comment line: password required pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass and is identical to /usr/src/etc/pam.d/passwd. -- David Taylor davidt@yadt.co.uk "The future just ain't what it used to be"
