I am writing an application that forces the user to change his password after the first login. I set a blank password for this admin user with



passwd -d admin


and verified that no password was set in /etc/shadow



# grep admin /etc/shadow
admin::17834:0:99999:7:::


However, my attempts to login from the console (not ssh) all fail. Can one or more rules in /etc/pam.d/* be tweaked to allow this login? I had once built a debug version of pam and replaced the default library with it (in a custom ISO) to understand which rules were being invoked but it generated humongous amount of log messages.



UPDATE:
I (force-)installed a PAM RPM built with debugging enabled and captured all logs pertinent to a login attempt from the console:

Looking at the source, a check in modules/pam_unix/passverify.c (must be pam_unix.so) is tripping

      I am writing an application that forces the user to change his password after the first login. I set a blank password for this admin user with



      passwd -d admin


      and verified that no password was set in /etc/shadow



      # grep admin /etc/shadow
      admin::17834:0:99999:7:::


      However, my attempts to login from the console (not ssh) all fail. Can one or more rules in /etc/pam.d/* be tweaked to allow this login? I had once built a debug version of pam and replaced the default library with it (in a custom ISO) to understand which rules were being invoked but it generated humongous amount of log messages.



      UPDATE:
      I (force-)installed a PAM RPM built with debugging enabled and captured all logs pertinent to a login attempt from the console:
