passwordless login

[Matt Price]

ho folks,

I just set up an old computer for my 6-year-old daughter.  She has a
lot of trouble typing in her password -- she doesn't type (or read or
write!) very well and it's difficult for her when she can't read the
letters.  I was considering giving her a null password, adding her
username to "DenyUsers" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config,  and removing
her name from the sudoers file.  I imagine this is strongly frowned
upon.  Nonetheless I'd like to do it if I can; but passwd doesn't like
the null password (unsurprisingly).  Is it possible to do this?

thanks much,

matt
