null password

Hi all,

I know that a user can not choose a null password with a "set password" utility, since there is PWDMINIMUM qualifier.

However, a user can be assigned a null password using "authorize /nopassword" utility. In this situation, is there a way to determine such a users by system tools?

Thanks...

Re: null password

I think if you read the password field using $GETUAI for a username with no password then it is 0.

You may be able to use

OR
ftp://ftp.process.com/vms-freeware/fileserv/getuai.zip
to check
