Modified files:
usr.sbin/adduser adduser.perl
Log:
Extend adduser to create "locked" accounts. Adduser can now lock an
account at creation, create accounts with a "*" password (so you can
use alternate authentication schemes without fearing a "default" password
biting you later), and blank passwords.
Yes, adduser could create a blank password account, but this makes it
slightly more difficult to shoot yourself in the foot.
The /etc/adduser.conf entries are:
# use password-based authentication for new users
# defaultusepassword = "yes" | "no"
defaultusepassword = "yes"
# enable account password at creation
# (the password will be prepended with a star if the account isn't enabled)
# defaultenableaccount = "yes" | "no"
defaultenableaccount = "yes"
# allow blank passwords
# defaultemptypassword = "yes" | "no"
defaultemptypassword = "no"
