Null passwords don't work.  You need the password encoded according to
your operating system's crypt function.  On most *nixes, this is the
password field in the password file, less any password aging codes.
Some Linux distributions use a more generalised mechanism and you'll need
to check the archives for ways of getting the standard crypt password,
or code a small routine yourself.
