The analysis given in section 3.2 of the portable OpenSSH FAQ regarding

"Empty passwords not allowed with PAM authentication"

appears to be specific to Linux's pam_unix.so.  No mention is made that
this is in fact a Linux-specific remedy.  Some text should probably be
added to this extent.


If anyone has worked on this on Solaris 8 I'd be interested to hear what
solution was found.  (assuming it was not running a different instance of
sshd w/o PAM support on another port)
