Default Login Without asking password

Dear friends and Vivek sir,

I am practising for RHCE and it fills me annoying to enter pasword for users evrytime I logins by different names and root.
Is there any command or option to enter directly into system after entering login name without password.

Vivek sir, I am also going through shell scripts and has been successful to decode initrc and such files. I have been reading

http://freeos.com/guides/lsst/ , but can I get the total tutorial on CD or as a file, so I can read and practice it at home instead of seating on net.

With Regards,
Sameer

Default

Open /etc/passwd

Look for line as follows and remove 'x' from it
So line
Code:
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin
Replace with
Code:
bin::1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin
After this user bin will login without password.

Download html format lsst from http://nixcraft.net/linux/lsst/lsst-1.05.r3.tar.gz
