Howdy,

Okay, I'm hot on the trail of VPN using SSH-IP-TUNNEL.
But I need to create a user "vpnuser" who has now passwd.
I tried using vipw and setting a star to the encrypted 
passwd for vpnuser --- but login still asks for a passwd 
-- and the old passwd no longer functions.

How do I make "vpnuser" passwordless for the VPN script 
of SSH-IP-TUNNEL?

Thanks,

Gan
