How to Display Users Without Passwords

You should make sure that all users have a valid password.

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

  2. Display all users who have no passwords by using the logins command.


    # logins -p
    

    The -p option displays a list of users with no passwords. The logins command uses the local /etc/passwd file and the name service password databases to obtain a user's login status.
