User Accounts without passwords

We are required to verify that all email accounts on a system change
their passwords on a minimum of 180 days. We found several tha appeared
to have not been logged into in the last 180 days. using admintool the
accounts were still set at create password on first login. checking the
shadow file we found that these accounts had no password. we can
loginto the machine without a password. This is a serious violation of
our requirements for security on this network.

Does anyone know how this is happening and a cure for it?
