My ideal setup would be: 1) no passwords ("*" in /etc/passwd or via vipw) 2) only ssh for remote access i.e. no password-based security, only something better 3) except console, where anyone should be able to login without any password (granted, I only have two users, root and jay)
I haven't been able to achieve #3, so I compromise and have no console access at all, except maybe via single user. I really don't want security to be password-based. Hints? (This is on Linux, Solaris, NetBSD, Darwin, OpenBSD, FreeBSD; I've achieved #1 and #2 on all; presumably hints here only for OpenBSD.) Thanks, - Jay
