Thank you! Now that I know what I'm looking for, I can see the
relevant
code in security(8), too.
I wonder if there's a way for ports to do that for me while calling
useradd?
Another rabbit hole to go down.
Thanks again,

It normally does already. Do you have an unusual "password" line in
/etc/usermgmt.conf?
Nope.
Ugh, although I said ports does this often in my experience, the only
system/port I have right now where it's doing it is the RANCID package
on that dedicated VM. I have two other VMs where I have manually
created single-purpose userids without passwords that also complain (one
for RT [not from ports], one for webhosting).
So it could just be that package; at least I can't demonstrate any
others right now.
