Enable Passwordless Users

Hello

Is there anyway to enable certain accounts to login without asking for a password? I want my account to continue to be password-protected but I would like to add accounts for family members that are password-less. Then they only have to click on their name and login.

Question

Does anyone have more information about this? I am using Fedora 8 with the Gnome desktop.

I am configuring my parents computer and trying to streamline it for ease of use. They are not the most computer literate couple, but I'm trying to bring them around. They haven't any applicable use for passwords, but maybe in the future they will. For now they will happier if I enable passwordless login.

I have failed to understand how to enable passwordless login. I must digest more information before I am able to administer the appropriate settings.

All advice is valid.

Simply invoke "sudo passwd -d username" to kill the password. I have done it for a number of users on my computer at home.
