Subject: Re: disable password prompts after upgrade
Michael disables asking passwords for sudo, and now you're 1-upping him by just disabling passwords altogether? yikes.

Might I ask why you're doing this and what you're doing where your password is being asked for enough for it to be a problem? Unless I'm trying to sudo something, I'm never asked for my password once I login...
