Description voland 2001-03-26 15:00:02 UTC 
	pam_unix rejects authenticating accounts where password field is
empty. This happens because the password it gets from a client gets
crypt'ed irrespectively of whether the password field obtained from the
master.passwd is empty or not.

Fix: The following patch fixes the problem:
How-To-Repeat: 
	Create an account with empty password field in the master.passwd
file and try ssh'ing to the host if sshd uses PAM authentication.
