We're one of the last people on earth to upgrade our Classic HP3000 to a
PA Risc box, so this kind of question has probably been talked about long
ago.  (Sorry.)
 
We only had 2 priv-mode programs on the old machine.  One allowed moving
the console to anyone with OP capability.  The other verified that the
user running the program had a password.  It is the latter one that I'd
like to reproduce on the new machine.
 
When we create a user on the system we leave the password empty and have
them sign on right away.  There is a system-wide option logon UDC that
checks to see if the password is blank and invokes the password changer if
so.  This is also handy for when users forget their password.  We just
blank it out and let them log in again.
 
So the question is: what is the simplest way to accomplish this
blank-password-check now?  Can this be done with some of the funky new
scripting it seems the new 3000 has?  Thanks for any hints, pointers,
advice.
 
 
p.s. Are there any good resources to help us learn about the new features
on this risc machine?
