You don't need to tell me Pixel. :-)

Meaning that you want to allow a home user to not have a password
because it is too much of a PIA for them to have to log in all the time?
But with empty passwords, allowing sshd access is dangerous. Is that a
correct assesment of your concerns?
You can have sshd refuse access to an account with empty passwords.

~blech~ I would much sooner have an sshd sitting on a port for remote
access than webmin/linuxconf. I am not at all convinced of the security
of webmin/linuxconf. sshd was/is developed in a very security consious
environment by a group of programmers whose primary goal is security.
linuxconf/webmin are/were not.
