I like some sort of list. "*" would, as present, mean no-valid-password.
But we could have a lot of different values. The main cluster at Stanford
uses AFS for afs-domain passwords. ssh would make sense for what you
describe. And I'd vote for a short phrase rather than "#" :-)

But I'm not sure how to do it. :-(

Take care,
