Creating a User with No Password?
 
I'm running RedHat 7.3 and I'd like to create a User account that does not have a password. The Gnome User Manager does not let me do this. It says there must be a password at least 6 charaters long.

I know that not having a password could be a big security hole but I'm willing to live with that (it's a home machine connecting to a small home network).

Any ideas?
