From Solaris
-d Deletes password for name and unlocks
the account. The login name is not
prompted for password. It is only appli-
cable to the files and ldap reposi-
tories.

-u Unlocks a locked password for entry
name. See the -d option for removing the
locked password, or to set a password to
allow logins.

From HP UX

-d Allow user to login without a password by deleting it.
This option unlocks/activates the user account if found
locked/deactivated.


But the strange thing is that if i try to login with after
passwd -d username

it ask for password when i provide the password it again ask for password with Access denied message

when i do
su myuser
it does not ask for password
and when i use id command it show the

uid=132(myuser) gid=107(myc)
