Thanks. What is it that you need no-password accounts for? If it is for remotely executed commands, consider SSH identity files - they're just as easy to generate without a password, *but* they have the added benefit that a empty-password identity may be restricted to only executing certain commands, so it cannot be abused for break-ins or similar.
