In 9.2 passwd -d <username> achieved this, how do I achieve it in 9.3?
In the same way, this was not changed as a view in /etc/shadow will show you.
While the password is removed, it is now impossible to log into an account using a totally empty password.
Ah, but this is something completly different and has nothing to do with the original question.
(This may be caused by "blowfish" encryption, or it might be because of some option or feature of pam (personally, I just broke down and entered a password, but the original poster is correct.)
