Hello, I am running openSUSE 13.1 (I know, it is in RC2) with GNOME. I really want to have an user account with no password, (not password prompt for login and for anything else).
In Debian/Ubuntu I used to do it with command: “passwd -d username”, then gdm does not ask for password, shell login neither asks.
Now in openSUSE this is not working for me, after running that command, user lost his password, but gdm, nor shell, allow the user to login, they give me the same message than if the entered password was wrong.
openSUSE Live CD has configured an user account without password, so I think it is possible to do this.
This will be a secondary user account, I do not want to do this with the main user account.
Please I’d need some help, how to do it?

You can have automatic login, but no password? I don’t think so.

You can in KDE:
Systemsettings - Login - Conveniance. Changing values will trigger kdesu to effect the changes.
I know you’re running GNOME, but this should be writen to system files, i.e. possible to be found.
A little bit of digging revealed a solutions.
Think the OP wants no entry at all ie auto-login
Yast-etc/system config editor Desktop-display manager-autologin eneter the user name that you want to auto-login
I have done that (as root):
passwd -d name_of_the_user
pam-config -a --unix2-nullok
I also have changed configuration in KDM (trying with KDM plus KDE now) to allow users without password to login.
I also have changed configuration in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager to allow passwordless login.
And after all, I still cannot login without password.
Note that I need to more than one user can login without password, not auto-login with a single user.
I can do it in other distributions, and openSUSE Live medium becomes with an user without password, so there must be some way to configure it.
