Thanks to Pat O'Brien and Martin Moore for their responses. When I
configured the /etc/auth/system/default file to take null passwords and then
turn on C2 security the null passwords remained null.

Thanks again,

Chris

Admins,
        
        I am in the planning process to convert a Tru64 UNIX 5.1 system from
BASE security to ENHANCED security. Now, I have a lot of accounts that do
not have passwords associated with them and I know that ENHANCED security
supports null passwords. My question is after I convert to enhanced
security will I have to remove the password field or will it just keep the
passwords null? I will summarize.

TIA,
