useradd newuserloginname
passwd -d newuserloginname

man passwd calls -d diabling the password IIRC. Could be deleting it,
but in any case I have no Mandrake or SuSE or Fedora or Corel or RedHat
users with passwords except root. They're all me under a single roof,
and I don't need protection from myself. :-)
