Sorry, not in SCO-UNIX. When I login next, I'm asked for a password. The only (obscure) thing possible with SCO-UNIX is a password of length zero, e.m. you only have to press when you are asked for the password. My question: If I do _not_ want C2 but an account without password in SCO-UNIX, how can I get this ? -- Walter Mecky
