asked on How to ssh PAM authentication with any login info?
I am trying to configure that using ssh any use should be able to login to my server, with or without password ( preferable ). I played with nullok which doesn't require a user to enter the password but I have to create a user and let that user have 'empty password' I am wonder if there is any other way so that any with with empty password should be allowed to login.
SSH / Telnet Software

Never use empty passwords. You should use ssh keys.
the pam_permit modules allow to let anyone access w/o passwords
that said, i see no reason why anybody in his right mind would want to do that

... and note that using ssh keys does not require messy and otherwise dangerous pam configurations
As skullnobrains suggested, messing around with PAM can cause large time drains + open security holes.
Generally I just prefer disabling PAM + sticking with SSH keys.
