How can someon create a user and a coresponding group without any
password . The user isn't needed to have a shell even .
Examples for such a case would be user amavis and smrsh , both
needed with a sendmail installation the former in order to intergrate
sendmail with amavis for virus checking and the later of course is the
sendmail secure shell ?
Use "useradd" or the GUI version, add the user with a blank password
and specify their shell as "/bin/false". Voila!
