Changing the Linux account PW for local user "nagios"

Post by WillH »

All,
Our internal security dept is a little worked up that the Nagios account has no password. Yes, I know that no password means no login, but they don't like that answer.
Is there an issue with changing the password for the local user Nagios from null to, well, anything else?
