I don't believe that this is what mike p. wanted.  According to the manual
[login(1)], "When PASSREQ is set to YES, [] users will be required to have a
password."

The way i do this is to use, as root, the command "passwd -x -1 name", where
"name" is the user's login name.  See TFM entry: passwd(1)
