1. How do I get the polite message?
That depends. Maybe a variation on /etc/nologin ? According to the man page, if you use what I suggest as the 'polite' method rather than your ABEND method, then If the file /etc/nologin.txt exists, nologin displays its contents to the user instead of the default message.
2. How do I enter a blank gecos 3. how do I enter a blank home directory?
Those are really LDAP questions aren't they? Or possibly database questions for the underlying database.
4. Is it possible that cifsuser never be prompted for a password?
Personally I use ssh and certificates all over the palce so I only ever have to enter my password once for all the machines and IDs on my net (except root). Perhaps if you gave us a little more context about the circstances in which that acount is being used. Oh, and the obvious answer: don't have a password :-) I'm sure there are circumstances where not having a password isn't actually a security violation :-) -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3?
