login without a password


HI. im using debian etch 4.0. Im playing around with my box. I am curious about a thing. My question is how to login without a password. That means if i was in guest account, I want to login into another guest account which doesnt need to enter password. How to do it. Any ideas?

That defeats system security if users can login without a password, then switch to another users account and login without a password.

I don't know of any way to do it. Assuming you are determined to do so, point your browser at www.google.com/linux and start searching.
