Fedora plans to disable empty passwords |
 |
The Fedora team is proposing a change to the project's next release, Fedora 32, which would disable the ability to leave user accounts unprotected by a password. The change proposal explains: "Current default configuration allows users to login with an empty password by setting nullok parameter to pam_unix module. This affects only logins to local machine, it does not affect ssh logins as this must be explicitly allowed in sshd_config. We want to disallow empty password by default for local logins as well to improve system hardening. Note: It is possible to disallow empty passwords with authselect call (authselect enable-feature without-nullok) or by removing nullok manually, however it creates possible issues in other components that must be addressed." A few system components, such as the passwd command will need to be modified to handle the new default behaviour.
