Public bug reported: When unlocking a user account (which doesn't have a password) with 'passwd' I get the message:
passwd: unlocking the password would result in a passwordless account. You should set a password with usermod -p to unlock the password of this account. The Man page for passwd does not describe the '-p' option. If I try to use -p as an option,I get an unknown option error: passwd: invalid option -- 'p' Usage: passwd [options] [LOGIN] ...
