As root I use;
adduser
?
I tried it again as a test.
In the add-user process, I get a prompt for the "Current Kerberos
password:" (I didn't pay a lot of attention the first time, when it
asked for an NT password - so I'm not sure where that came up.)
?
If I give it null passwords (just hit enter), I get
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
passwd: password unchanged
?
So, I'm a little puzzled.
