Correction, courtesy of John Horne. The -N option works for Sol-9 as well even though it is not listed in the man pages. So disregard the message below try the -N option to add the NP password (I knew SUN would never officially support vi'ing the shadow file) -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org] On Behalf Of Naqvi Zahid - znaqvi Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 9:16 AM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: summary: Solaris 9 and NP value for passwd Common consensus is that on Solaris 9 you have to vi the shadow file and manually take out the encrypted password and insert NP. As the -N option only came with sol-10, and there is no other option in the password command to make a no password account. Thanks for all who offered their opinions.
